Wayne Mathews

Black History Month 2025

A debut at Birmingham Jazz to Wayne a significant presence in the region. His music education began in the Church, where I began to play the bass and had the best ear training there is. Before that he had a classical upbringing on the recorder and viola. I also became involved with a city-wide schools choir ran by the Coventry Centre for Performing Arts, it was here I worked my way up to the Coventry Youth Orchestra. They will be preforming a mixture of originals by Wayne and Marcus plus some standards.
