Over14 years, he has developed several longstanding musical relationships with top singers and musicians in the North West of England.
Jeremy has set up several successful live Jazz residencies in the North West. He has performed at the Manchester, Birmingham & Wigan Jazz Festivals, as well as Europe's prestigious 'North Sea Jazz Festival' in The Hague, Netherlands. He has also performed in France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Hong Kong, New York, San Francisco, Sydney and Brisbane.

Jazz is often burdened by negative stereotypes, and Jeremy attempts to break these. His style gives equal weight to elements of Swing, Latin, Blues, Funk, Soul and Groove. His delivery is slick, yet avoids taking itself 'too' seriously. The music is accessible to all. Consequently, Jeremy has a following of up to 1,000 people of all ages, backgrounds and musical tastes who follow his gigs. Please enjoy this site. All comments or enquiries are welcomed.
