TRUMPETER Chris Hodgkins will be playing music from his new album with pianist Dave Price entitled Back In Your Own Backyard.

In September last year returned to Wales to record an album of originals, standards and one or two tunes from the archives. For the past seven years Chris, on his visits to Wales, has worked with Dave Price on piano and Erika Lyons or Ashly John Long on bass. All three joined him on the album and the result is Back In Your Own Back Yard.

Chris Hodgkins will be at The Old Black Lion in Hay-on-Wye (01497 820841) on June 12 at 8.30pm, and at The Angel in Grosmont (01981 240646).
