Raul D’Oliveira studied music in the Conservatoire of Lisbon, Portugal. His first instrument was the Cello, and his first professional instrument the Double Bass. “The Trumpet was going to be solely for Classical playing ...”

He has since toured and recorded with many household names: Joe Jackson, Kula Shaker, Joan Armatrading, Terrence Trent D'Arby, George Michael, Wet Wet Wet, Sir Elton John, Sir Cliff Richard, Mica Paris, Gloria Gaynor ...

“I have also been involved in Gospel music since I found a Bible in a hotel room, and that way was introduced to the Maker of the Universe, who changed my life ...”

Raul has also played in many jazz, latin/jazz groups, including: Onward International, Sonido de Londres, Roberto Pla latin emsemble ...

The Carey Jazz Band are: Tim Wells (trumpet), Dan Harman (keys), Tom King (drums) & Phil Harman (bass/manager)

Jazz in the Quay of C is our first local gig, and the emphasis for the evening will be strictly fun! Our programme will include a mix of jazz standards, with Raul adding more than a touch of class and latin flare.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to HOPEHIV - a registered charity giving love, protection and support to children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

If you can use these A5 flyers to invite people along, please drop us a line with your address, stating how many you copies you need.

This event is sponsored by ColossiansThreeSixteen. We first met Raul at our Graham Kendrick concert in Wrexham last year, and we're excited that he's agree to play with our band.

Note: whilst this is not an overtly Christian gig, we do want to introduce Christian musicians to a wider audience.
