The house trio consists of Tom Ball on piano and the powerhouse rhythm section of Kevin Sanders on bass and Nick Carter on drums. For this first event we welcome a very special guest, Martin Dale, a former Royal Marine bandmaster and considered by many to be the best tenor sax player in the South West. Martin was a member of the John Burch Octet, and is also a member of the London based groups “Sax Appeal” and "Jack Bruce Blues Experience".

Martin has played at venues all over the UK, including Ronnie Scotts Club, The 606, The Bull's Head in Barnes, Pizza Express Dean Street, The 100 Club and the Concord Club. Martin has also toured internationally and for a time worked on the Q.E.2 as lead alto player, backing such artists as Neil Sedaka, Petula Clark, and Tom Jones.

Martin’s Plymouth based band is in high demand and has worked with Jim Mullen, Roy Williams, Derek Nash, Dick Pearce, Bruce Adams, Digby Fairweather and the highly acclaimed Peter King to name a few. Martin has also worked with the 2008 X Factor winner, Alexandra Burke.

Martin has recorded for the BBC on radio and television sound tracks. To date he has released 8 albums, which have been played on Radio 2, Radio 3 and Jazz FM.
