Julian Stringle (photo above) is a perennial favourite at Googlies. He is a local musician with a deservedly international reputation who has long been regarded as an outstanding performer on all his instruments – clarinet, tenor sax and alto (and vocals). Julian has toured with top US clarinettist Ken Peplowski and he always brings out the best in those performing with him. In 2018 Julian was nominated for a British jazz award and in 2019 he won the British jazz award in the clarinet category.

Pete Neighbour is a highly respected clarinet and sax player. He travels extensively performing in his own inimitable style – ‘swing era jazz for the 21^st century’.
