A JAZZ duo are coming to Caddonfoot for a show later this month.

Edinburgh-based Ian Millar and Dominic Spencer have been performing together for a number of years playing melodic improvisations on jazz standards and original compositions. Their style of jazz concentrates on developing melodic ideas within the framework of the melody of a tune, whilst maintaining the concept and groove behind it.

The result is a melodic style which allows them to explore, improvise and develop ideas without losing the essence of each piece of music, and to interact together in as creative a way as possible.

The pair have had enormous success over many years during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with their very successful show “Jazz at Lunchtime”. Thousands of people saw them perform, with many sell-out shows. A number of visitors to the Edinburgh Fringe from all over the world have returned year after year.

The duo have also extensively toured across the UK, and have embarked on many rural tours under their “Jazz in the Village” series, playing in hundreds of halls, including at Lauder and Melrose.

Ian and Dominic have brought jazz for the first time to remote communities, performing in many intimate settings to new audiences.

The beautiful Scottish scenery that they have seen on their travels has inspired the writing of many pieces of music by Ian.

The guys will perform at Caddonfoot Hall on Friday, March 23 at 8pm.

Tickets are £10 and are available from Clovenfords Village Store and committee members. For more information, call 07527800301.
