Some of the music from that evening is here, along with many cuts that you've heard me play at Out To Lunch with Killer Jim. Look out for the wonderful 'Chiaroscuro' by Zara, sounding great on heavyweight 10" vinyl.

Many thanks to Zara McFarlane and her amazing band, Ste Allan, Tabitha Timothy, Gilles Peterson, Brownswood Recordings, Killer Jim, Jackie P and everyone at Out To Lunch, Perry Louis and the Jazzotech crew, Skip, Pablo, David Stickman Higgins, Joff Casciani, Paul Wain, Honest Jon's, Jazz Ian, Tony Minvielle, Ex-Friendly, Alex Traska, Beane Noodler, Wrighty, Richard Hamblin, Jim the sound engineer, anyone I've forgotten!.. and all at Nottingham Contemporary.
