2025 Programme Preview

We’ve got some really special shows coming up next year! You’ll start to see these published on our website and social media in the next few weeks and I’ve almost finished the artwork for the next round of flyers to cover December through to February, which will be going to print next week. One of the benefits of signing up to our mailing list is that you’ll get to hear about what’s coming up ahead of everyone else!



We’re kicking off 2025 on 9th January with the fantastic Latin 7-piece TRYPL, founded by Trevor Mires, Ryan Quigley and Paul Booth - three of the busiest session horn players in the UK who between them have worked with Incognito, Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies Quincy Jones and Louis Cole among many other top acts. If you were with us for HOOP in November last year, you’ll already be familiar with Paul and Ryan (check out this video from that incredible night!).



We’ve already had some top class drummers feature on our program over the last couple of years, but in January we’re kicking off a mini-series putting the spotlight firmly on the ‘throne’ with drummer-led bands, starting with Jas Kayser (pictured) on 23rd January. In 2021, Jas won the Parliamentary Jazz Newcomer of the Year and Jazz FM Breakthrough Act of the Year awards and she released her debut album in 2022 on the Jazz re:freshed label for their ‘5ive’ series. She has featured with leading artists including Jorja Smith, Alfa Mist, Nubia Garcia and Shabaka Hutchings, most recently joining Lenny Kravitz on his 2024 “Blue Electric Light” tour, which will finish it’s South American leg in December, resuming in Europe from February. This booking has been two years in the making with dozens of emails and phone calls and a change of manager in March this year, so I am really delighted to finally be able to announce it!



We’re following that up on 13th February with an incredible young Birmingham band Impossible Conversations, headed up by drummer Louis Hamilton-Foad (grandson of Jamaican sax legend Andy Hamilton who migrated to the UK in 1949, settling in Birmingham), then another fellow Brummie drummer (now living in London), Romarna Campbell on 27th February. The series ends with Nigerian percussionist Lekan Babalola with his Sacred Funk 4tet on 13th March. Lekan has worked extensively with one of my favourite jazz vocalists, Cassandra Wilson, for many years.



Remaining dates for your diary before the summer break are Rob Luft (27 March), Tomasz Bura (10 April), Hypnos Files (24 April), Empirical (8 May), Karim Saber (22 May), Dreamscapes (12 June) and John Law’s Recreations (26 June).



Don’t forget, you can see all these gigs for just £18 per month and bag yourself a super cool t-shirt and priority seating with our Club Membership. You won’t get a better deal than that for this standard of live music anywhere else!
