The Dave Milligan Trio

The Dave Milligan Trio sprung into life about the time I moved to Scotland in summer 1998. Since then we have played across the UK and Europe and produced a couple of very fine CDs. During that time we have had times of performing and practising a great deal and then times of being away from the trio. Currently we are between meals and look forward to the next round of creating and laughing. Much information is available here at www.davemilligan.co.uk

Dave Milligan Trio CD – Late Show

The Debut album by the Dave Milligan Trio from 2003.

“His soulful instincts shine through on a record that qualifies as one of the best British releases of the year.” THE TIMES
“This excellent disc features Milligan with a sharply sensitive trio – and a remarkably varied and high-quality original repertoire.” THE GUARDIAN
“…makes an enormous impression – a keyboard master of today who is more melodic than, say, Bobo Stenson, but gentler than Jarret. Certainly that’s the sort of company he belongs in.” JAZZ REVIEW
