More information about Music Train tickets

The £22 (plus 10% booking fee) package of music at Alexanders and food also includes taxis from Chester Station to Alexanders and back again.  The food is Dave Johnson’s award-winning local bangers with mash, peas and gravy (Vegan option available). You'll need a train ticket as well, so please purchase this separately.  The music is in the rear carriage of a two-car train or the second carriage of a four-car train. The Music Train leaves Altrincham at 18:36 and return leaves Chester at 22:52.  Please notify us when you have booked if you have any dietary requirements. 
 
Geoff Higginbottom and Rob Carroll play 6 & 12 string guitars and bodhran as well as singing unaccompanied.  Geoff sings traditional songs (his powerful voice being ideal for the chorus songs he loves) and also contemporary song on a wide range of subjects and from a variety of different sources.  
 
So What Now - This highly entertaining quintet presents jazz standards, classic Latin grooves & blues with their own brand of vibrancy, humour and most importantly with a whole lot of swing!  Entertainment is strictly the name of the game and wherever they perform, the response is the same – a great reaction from both jazz buffs and newcomers to the music. Much of this is due to the varied programme of generally well known tunes but always with a few surprises thrown in.
