Ben Crosland plays the Ray Davies Songbook

Ben Crosland - Bass.  Dave O’Higgins – Saxes.  John Etheridge – Guitar.  Steve Lodder- Keys.  Sebastiaan De Krom - Drums

In 2016 The Ben Crosland Quintet released the critically acclaimed album The Ray Davies Songbook, a tribute to the Kinks iconic singer/composer Ray Davies. He began his musical education at the age of thirteen playing along to the Kinks’ singles on the Dansette in his bedroom. Fifty years on, he has discovered new subtleties and strengths in Ray Davies’ compositions and has assembled a quintet of international standing to record and perform his imaginative arrangements.

Strong grooves, a natural swing and strong, evocative melodies characterise Ray Davies’ songs which allows them to be beautifully re-interpreted in a more contemporary fashion. From straight-ahead swing through 8th feel grooves and ballads to reggae, Crosland and the band shine a new light on these classic songs. The album was nominated by respected jazz writer Brian Morton as one of his albums of the year in the Jazz Journal Critics’ Poll 2016.

“…a lot of affection, a lot of respect for those unforgettable melodies and a whole lotta damn fine playing…these well respected men have done Mr. Davies proud” Jazzwise

    Horrible DJ with bad music. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn he was new at his job. All he would play was house music which was fine at first. But after the dance floor cleared out, we requested some different songs/type of music. But he refused saying he’d only play house music. Why? If there is no one on the dance floor but there are people wanting to dance to a different kind of music to celebrate new years after midnight, why not oblige? Also, he didn’t even do a count down at midnight! Then there was only one bar opened with three bartenders. At 22.00 I queued for 30 minutes to get my first drink. Why not open more bars? All around so disappointing, especially for the price! I’ve always heard good things about Hidden Rooms, and was excited to go for my first time on New Years. This experience has ruined it for me, and I’m not sure if I’ll want to to try that club again.

    Bad music. Bad cocktails. Bad lighting. Wasn’t a vibe. We actually left at half 11 because we wanted to do the nye countdown somewhere better
