Tim and Hattie Whitehead
The Tim & Hattie Whitehead band brings together saxophonist/composer father Tim with singer/guitarist/composer daughter Hattie, to play their own and other favourite songs and compositions. One of the UK's great jazz saxophonists we have known and admired Tim's playing since the days at the Old Club in the 1980's. A remarkable multi-award winning performer and composer Tim's cv, garnered over more than 40 years of performance at the highest level, is quite remarkable. From work with "Nucleus" in the 1970's, through "Loose Tubes" in the 80's to Artist in Residence at Tate Britain and a short-listing for the British Composer of the Year Award in 2010 Tim has established himself as an international artist of note.
London-based jazz and folk singer/songwriter Hattie Whitehead is influenced by both old and new music, drawing upon the eclectic range of musical styles she has been surrounded by throughout her life. Distinguished by a pure vocal tone and crystal clear delivery Hattie has developed a sound that is melodic, soulful and heartfelt. She has played venues including Glastonbury (where she won third prize in Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition), along with Latitude, Wilderness, Field Day, the Cambridge Folk Festival & more. And watch out for her latest release “No Man’s Land”. It’s also Tim’s Birthday today so expect something just a little special! With Meredith White-piano/vocal, Darren McCarthy-bass & Tom Hooper-drums.
