Now Linley returns to a quintet format for his next creative project, For The Record. The album is due for release in Spring 2020 but Dr. Linley will be performing tracks form it in Lost Lane. A superb recording that highlights Linley’s sensational ability as a virtuoso horn player. Supported with a star studded touring line-up including Darren Beckett (Madeleine Peyroux) this album will secure Linley’s credentials as an international star. 2019 was a good year for Linley with appearances in Moscow and a headline gig at The Cork Jazz. Another gig due to take place in Yokohama was cancelled due to the Typhoon while the band were on route in Moscow.
