Led by clarinettist and composer Dom James, The Dixie Ticklers combine their deep love and understanding of early jazz with a truly modern aesthetic and musical vision. Since forming at the University of London and Guildhall School of Music in 2005, this hard working band has built a fierce live reputation within jazz, blues and the acoustic scene.
In recent years they have toured Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden and more as well as leading their much celebrated jazz workshops for young players. Festival appearances at Green Man, Henley Festival, London Jazz Festival, Jazz in the Vines (AUS) and Shambala have led to a very loyal cross-genre following.
