Climb that Tree
Join award-winning songwriter and musician David Gibbs on a musical journey through his hilarious and often surreal imagination, where bears live in the cupboard under the stairs, wolves are roaming the corridors at school and trips to the moon are a regular occurrence. David’s songwriting draws from a wide range of musical influences, deftly blending folk, jazz, reggae and rock & roll. Climb That Tree is guaranteed to have both parents and children singing along in no time – this is music that the whole family can enjoy together. “Prepare to be carried away with the music…packed full of catchy, toe tapping numbers.” The Guardian. “David Gibbs has a well-deserved cult following for his stage show which includes tales of dragons and driving chocolate cars. His lyrics are genuinely side-splitting and tunes guaranteed to get stuck in your head for days.” Creative Tourist” Ages suitable for children aged 2-8 years.

Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music.
It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure.
Packed with puppets, parachutes & percussion, bursting with Bach & bubbles, and flush with fairy tales and flutes; follow our rotating team of 4 teachers and their piano accompanist on a multi-sensory musical journey that will inspire your little one with instruments from every section of the orchestra.

The Tina May Quintet
Tina May (voice), Karen Sharp (saxes), Robin Aspland (piano), Arnie Somogyi (d. bass) & Winston Clifford (drums)
This very swinging quintet is led by the incredibly versatile and talented Tina May who was breathtakingly exciting on the Swanage Festival main stage last year. Tonight her jazz soul is the guiding force and one glance at her line up tells you that this will be a very special evening. It’s the first appearance at Lauderdale by British Jazz Award winner Karen Sharp who first worked with Tina when they were both with the Humphrey Lyttelton Band. Since then they have collaborated and recorded together extensively.
Expect some straight ahead jazz and ….always some forgotten gems alongside standards – but swung and sung in Tina’s inimitable style.
Our programmer Brian Blain compares her appearance at Swanage to Anita O’Day’s sensational contribution to that classic 1960 documentary Jazz On a Summer’s Day and tell us that ‘we could not start our Spring season in any better way’.
‘that great rarity…a singer who enhances a song.’ Dave Gelly, the Observer.

Nat Steele Quartet ‘tribute to MJQ’
8.30pm (doors open 8pm)
£12 / £10 concession / £7 student
concessions limited to disability, people on benefits (not over 60’s)
Nat Steele (vibes), Daniel Di Lecce (d bass), Gabriel Latchin (piano) & Steve Brown (drums)
This swinging take on the music of the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) of the 1950’s, celebrates his 5 star debut album of the same name. Jazz Choice of the Month in the December BBC Music Magazine, it has received rave reviews since its sell-out launch at Ronnie Scott’s.
‘Portrait of the MJQ’ is a special project for vibraphone player Nat Steele’s with its unique blend of subtlety and deep swing as it pays tribute to the fiery, boppish stylings of vibes pioneer Milt Jackson. Combined with this brilliant rhythm section the Quartet is guaranteed to do justice to its inspiration’s timeless music.
The MJQ were one of the most successful and influential jazz groups of the 20th century. They took jazz out of the club and into the concert hall increasing its popularity and reaching new audiences. Early pioneers of ‘third stream’ fusion, they combined classical compositional techniques with jazz improvisation.
‘Nat Steele is one of the best vibes players this country has ever produced.’
Clark Tracey
‘A refreshing treat for the ears’ 5 stars
