In true jazz club style, Sunday’s Town Hall programme wrapped up with an invigorating late-night gig from a promising Scottish quartet.

Twice a finalist of the World Saxophone Competition, and already a veteran of the European festivals circuit, Paul Towndrow's light, elegant sound and firm grip of the straightahead tradition has gained him much critical and public acclaim. 

Comments and reviews about Paul Towndrow:

"A turbo-charged amalgam of all your saxophone heroes"

The Guardian

"Paul Towndrow – write that name down because it's going to be a big one in the future!"

Humphrey Lyttleton, BBC Radio 2

"I have been an admirer for some time of Paul's assertive style on alto and soprano saxophones and he leads a very integrated swinging quartet. He comes as an excellent representative of the superb Scottish jazz scene."

Tony Dudley-Evans
