About
Yatra is bold, animated and highly developed, finding a fine state of balance between complexity and simplicity, eschewing the predictable so that the listener is forced to engage fully with the music. There are moments of beauty, introspection and humour all delivered with an exuberance only achievable by a band of this quality and class. Yatra is a personal journey of self-discovery for Neame, and one he is very happy to share.

‘Remarkable writing and playing are often in dazzling balance’. GUARDIAN
‘One of the finest composers and arrangers of his generation’. THE ARTS DESK
