THE ALISON Rayner Quintet will headline the Wainsgate Chapel in Hebden Bridge on September 24.

Bass player and composer Alison Rayner has been playing jazz and other styles of music since the mid-70s.

In the 80s she spent five years with the jazz/Latin group the Guest Stars touring major international jazz venues and festivals.

She currently leads ARQ, her contemporary jazz quintet, who have built a substantial and wide-ranging audience with what Jazz UK called “deliciously upbeat, groovy and thoughtful jazz”.

Debut album August and extensive national touring will be followed this autumn with second album A Magic Life.
