Two exceptional jazz guitarists come together for an evening of inventive improvisation, swinging standards and expressive musicianship.

We welcome the Svarc / McCarthy Jazz Duo back to Lincoln Jazz Café, bringing together two highly regarded guitarists whose contrasting styles and shared musical understanding create an engaging live performance.

Nik Svarc is a Leeds-based guitarist and educator, recognised for his distinctive approach to jazz guitar. His work spans a wide range of projects, including collaborations with Scott Devine, Dave Hassell, Tim Lefebvre and Oli Rockberger. His playing combines technical precision with an adventurous approach to improvisation.

Joining him is Pat McCarthy, an established jazz guitarist with decades of professional experience. Known for his instantly recognisable style and sound, Pat has performed alongside respected musicians including Alan Barnes, Jim Mullen, Pete King, Kenny Wheeler, Andy Sheppard and Tina May.

Together, Nik and Pat explore a repertoire of jazz standards and blues, bringing their individual influences and musical chemistry to familiar compositions. Expect expressive guitar interplay, thoughtful improvisation and an evening that celebrates the versatility of jazz guitar.
