Tomorrow the Moon is back with an exciting season of double bills of contemporary jazz led by woman. Our first gig on Thursday October 12 features BBC Young Musician of the Year Alexandra Ridout and her quintet with Solar Flares. We have two brand new groups for our EFG London Jazz Festival gig at the Old Church with Casimir Connection and Trio Cucara. Thursday December 14 we end the first half of the season with a tremendous double bill featuring up and coming Leeds trio J Frisco and fab guitar duo Free Spirit who will be inviting audience participation in a melodic but ‘of the moment’ performance. Details of all our gigs and events for 2017 are going up at the moment so watch this website or connect with us on Facebook fb
