What a night

The Out of Print album launch at Cadogan Hall, London. Photos from the night, plus the band lineup and setlist.

The Louis Dowdeswell Big Band and Symphonic Brass Ensemble on stage at Cadogan Hall

I’m still buzzing from our launch concert at Cadogan Hall. It was truly a highlight of my career and an amazing send-off before I start my new chapter in the US.

I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so much love in one room, so thank you for coming to support.

Here are some photos from the night, in case you missed it or want to revisit it.

Photography by the wonderful Alastair Merrill.
