PIANIST Mike Denham will be joined on stage by Australian multi-instrumentalist Michael McQuaid for the second of his regular Speakeasy nights at Dorchester Corn Exchange tonight from 8pm..

Michael has toured the world as a featured artist and bandleader, featuring with his own groups and with the US/Australian collaboration the ‘Hot Jazz Alliance’.

He has performed with the contemporary greats of 1920s and 1930s jazz – Keith Nichols, Vince Giordano, Bob Wilber, Spats Langham, Andy Schumm, Bob Barnard, Jon-Erik Kellso, Martin Litton, Bent Persson, Duke Heitger, Geoff Bull, Josh Duffee and many more and has established an international reputation.

A mere youngster (in his 30s!) he plays 1920s/30s jazz and swing with remarkable energy and originality.

McQuaid regularly performs on clarinet, saxophones, trumpet and even occasionally piano.
