Showcasing the iconic life and music of world renowned jazz musician Louis Armstrong, Rick Swann (trumpet), Gay McIntyre (clarinet) and John Trotter (trombone) will present an exciting show featuring Armstrong’s most popular tunes.
Trumpeter Rick Swann has made appearances around the UK, Europe and US, and on stages such as London's 'Royal Albert Hall', Belfast's 'Odyssey Arena' and as lead trumpet onboard RMS Queen Mary 2. Linley Hamilton, BBC Radio has described him as "The next golden trumpet player from Northern Ireland".

“Multi Instrumentalist John Trotter is a veteran of the City of Derry Jazz Festival, an expert in Scottish and Irish Traditional Music and a great exponent of Cuban Salsa music, combine this with a great singing voice, and you have a Formidable Musician” Áine McCarron at The Playhouse said.
“For this first class show these fabulous three musicians will team up with a richly talented rhythm section, this show promises to be a night to remember”
