"The best jazz gig in Harrogate since Wayne Shorter" Graham Chalmers, Fringe Festival Director.

"The following night saw live improvised modern jazz (with music sheets - obviously) in The Club (great leather seats, relaxed Victorian charm and a good little bar!).

It was the debut of Harrogate musician Guy Hatton's Pantechnicon. Though the band had had little time to rehearse, the technical subtlety and instrumental skills of Mssrs Graham Clark (violin), Dave Evans (keyboards), Emlyn Vaughan (bass), Joe Williamson (drums) and, especially, Phil Meadows (sax), not forgetting Hatton himself on lead guitar, meant this ambitious selection of numbers influenced by the best elements of 60s and 70s jazz plus modern ambient sounds and rock stayed on a course full of imagination and melody."
