  • Bio

    Terry Quinney was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and began performing and touring with a number of local blues and jazz groups at age 18. He received a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Regina in 1998 and after a brief period as a showband musician aboard a cruise ship he relocated to London, England. Terry spent two years in England teaching and working with musicians from the U.K. and further afield. Upon returning to Regina in 2001 Terry spent the next few years performing, touring recording and teaching extensively throughout western Canada. Terry has appeared numerous times at the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, The Regina Folk Festival and the Flatland Music festival as well as on CBC and local radio and TV and with the Regina Symphony Orchestra. In 2003 Terry joined the showband on another cruise line and he and his wife Nicola spent the next few years traveling the world. In 2006 Terry moved to Toronto, Ontario to further his education at Humber College, studying with Pat LaBarbera and Don Thompson among others. While attending Humber Terry has received the Douglas Richardson Memorial Scholarship, The Bobby Herriot Award for Arranging and Composing and the President's Letter. Terry is fast becoming a fixture on the Toronto jazz scene and has performed with Don Thompson, Bruce Cassidy's Hotfoot Orchestra, The Toronto Jazz Orchestra and The Composer's Collective Big Band and many others in all types of settings from funk to free jazz and recent appearances at the 2008 Toronto Jazz Festival and the 2008 Lakefield Jazz Festival. Terry Quinney is now based in southwest England. Since moving to the UK from Toronto in 2009, Terry has become a fixture on the jazz scene in the south of the country. He has performed with Mornington Lockett, John Etheridge, Iian Ballamy, Tom Toomey, The Baker Brothers among many others. Terry has performed at the Royal Albert Hall and the National Theatre in London and headlined at the Southampton Modern Jazz Club. Terry can regularly be heard performing with Pete Maxfield, Andy Urquhart, Ray D'Inverno and many others, in anything from a jazz quartet to a big band, in numerous styles from latin to funk to soul and r&b. .

    NEVER EVER EVER QUIT Terry!
     
    The Power of Persistence
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERSISTENCE ...

    "Lots of people LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES by

    GIVING UP EASILY.   NEVER tell yourself this is

    TOO MUCH FOR ME. It's NO USE. I CAN'T GO ON.

    If you do you're LICKED, and by your OWN THINKING TOO.

    Keep BELIEVING and keep on KEEPING ON."

    ~ Norman Vincent Peale

    FALL SEVEN TIMES AND STAND UP EIGHT!

    NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP!
