Thanks to everybody for making Friday night truly special. It was our 11th time at Hideaway and though the other ten were good this was the best yet. Everything seemed close to perfection. The music - Wayne was phenomenal, as were his musicians. The food was superb, the service was exceptional (a special thanks to the waiting staff who managed to weave their way through the dancers without causing problems). The sound was fantastic, and the audience played their part too! I have been gigging for 40 years and realise that nights like Friday don’t come very often.
**FEATURED ARTIST** LIANE CARROLL

Liane Carroll
Having picked up just about every British jazz award going in the last few years, including the 2008 Parliamentary Jazz Award for ‘Musician Of The Year,’ Liane Carroll has been hailed by critics and fans alike as one of our very finest jazz singers. She has worked with an extensive roster of international artists, such as Gerry Rafferty, Gerry Donahue, Long John Baldry, and Sir Paul McCartney, as well as the fast soul outfit ‘London Elektricity.’ Since 2003 she has released four critically acclaimed jazz albums, one of which, ‘Slow Down,’ was voted by The Times as one of the top five jazz albums of 2007. Possessed of a huge vocal range, a prodigious musicality and an unerring sense of musical honesty, her live set is one of the most emotionally exciting to be found on the UK jazz circuit and covers a broad repertoire from the contemplative Tom Waits and Lauro Nyro, through to familiar jazz standards, as well as Liane’s self-penned original material. She will be joined tonight by James McMillan (trumpet).
