Robin to perform with TV and film legend – Roger Lloyd Pack

As part of the Salthouse 05 festival, Robin will join his favourite bass player Graeme Howell to provide improvised jazz support to famed British actor Roger Lloyd Pack and published poet, Jehane Markham, in Salthouse Church, North Norfolk on July 31st.

Roger Lloyd Pack’s widespread UK fame was sealed following parts on TV such as Trigger in ‘Only Fools and Horses’ and Owen in ‘The Vicar of Dibly’ and has recently finished filming the new Harry Potter film in which he plays Barty Crouch.

Jehane Markham is a poet and playwright who has recently released her new poetry collection, 30 Poems. Robin performs with Graeme and Jehane Markham in a modern poetry jazz collective called JMT (Jehane Markham Trio), in which Jehane’s poetry performs a rhythmic role in the trio. See below for details of the group’s recording to be available later in 2005. For more information about Jehane Markham visit www.roughwinds.co.uk.

Robin snaps up new management as career takes off

Robin has joined forces with marketing expert, Tara Mallinson, to take his playing and recording career to the next level. Formerly brand executive at Adnams, Tara has stepped over into the entertainment business to help launch Robin’s career onto the international jazz stage.

CD artwork and design developed

Robin has teamed up with awesome young designer, Simon Griffith, to create the look of his new CD and promotional print work. Simon took an early cut of the album and the photography of Mark Tristam Lawrence and set to work to create the imagery for Robin’s new CD, The Last Bar. Formerly a designer of rugby clothing at Samurai, Simon’s work today takes him into a variety of different industries and he enters the world of jazz for the first time on this project.
