He has amassed some of Britain's finest young jazz musicians who are all full-time musicians based around the London area. Pianist and vocalist T.J. Johnson is no stranger to the club having presented his own Bourbon Kick (on drums) in recent years but he first graced us with his presence as a teenager and a member of Max Collie’s Rhythm Aces in the late 1980‘s. Trombonist Graham Hughes is currently making a remarkable impact on the London jazz scene and has appeared at the club several times with Barry Martyn’s Young Bloods, Bourbon Kick and the Big bear Stompers.

With their talent for satisfying listeners and dancers alike they have built up a truly international reputation at major festivals in the UK and overseas. The band's driving and exciting New Orleans style attracts large audiences whenever they play. Their many fans follow them from festival to festival and turn out devoteTheir music can be heard as far away as New Zealand and America and they have travelled to Holland, Germany, Denmark. Finland, Majorca, Canada and all parts of the UK, delighting new audiences and collecting loyal supporters along the way. However, the band's reputation has not suddenly emerged; it has been hard earned and well-deserved for nearly 3 decades. Formed in 1979, The Savannah started their swinging Thursday night sessions at the Station Tavern at the railway station in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, which has now come to an end. Fortunately their dedication and ability has steamed ahead, and a residency continues at the Royal British Legion , Golcar where on the first Thursday of each month the band can be seen and heard for a relatively small entrance fee. This is a dynamic band, a hard working band, and a truly professional band. Long may they play!
