Peterborough Jazz Club welcomes The Andrew Linham Jazz Orchestra - a 17-piece contemporary big band - to The Broadway Suite this Sunday.

The band plays music from some of the great Big Bands as well as original compositions of bandleader Andrew Linham.

It is packed with great soloists with all the musicians busy working on the London jazz scene.
