Mark Pringle Trio - Wookey Hole Club - Saturday October 11th - 8 p.m.


Mark Pringle Trio, Wookey Hole Club, Saturday October 11th, 8 p.m.

Rising young jazz piano star Mark Pringle from Wells is putting on a show for his home crowd at the Wookey Hole Club on Saturday, October 11th. Described in the national press as “stupendously talented,” Mark was a regular at the Wells Jazz Collective’s monthly sessions before gaining a place on the highly rated jazz course at Birmingham Conservatoire.
There he met the other two members of his current trio who will be joining him at the Wookey Hole Club. Both have recent experience of supporting star players - bassist James Banner backing Wynton Marsalis and Wayne Shorter and drummer Euan Palmer playing with Julian Siegel and Lluis Mather.
Growing up in Wells playing in local music groups, Mark went on to study with renowned Frome-based pianist John Law, with whom he recorded a piano duo album and undertook a national tour. More recent studies have taken him beyond the UK to the prestigious Conservatoire National Superieur in Paris.  
 Promoted by the Wells Jazz Collective, the Wookey Hole Club concert will feature Mark’s original compositions and other work. It starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are priced at £5 each.  To reserve in advance please call Paul Cannon of the Wells Jazz Collective on 01749 674913 or email milton.bluesman@hotmail.com
