Caroline Boaden - Drums & vocals
Caroline Boaden is the newest member of The Dizzy Club. Caroline has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and has been a professional drummer for over twenty years.
She bagan her career at the tender age of fourteen and cut her teeth on the club circuit alongside her Dad Fred Boaden who had been an established keyboard player on the jazz circuit. He became my musical mentor and advised me to study at the Leeds College of music (1982).
Caroline has since then played all over the world in various bands and has work with artists such as Ephraim Lewis & Jimi Tenor.
She has also appeared at festivals such as Glastonbury & Virgin. She has also worked locally with many visiting jazz legends including Pete King, Art Farmer & Harry Sweets Edisson
Caroline was a regular performer at the legendary wine bar Mr Kites and could be heard providing the groove for many of the Sheffield based jazzers and also performed at John & Annie Naylor's wedding in 1993.
Her other current projects includes Laura Fowles and is playing support for Take That during their current 2007 UK tour.
In the summer of 2006 Caroline headed a series of jazz drumming workshops at the Cinnamonn Club in Manchester and also provides private tuition to a few selected pupils.
