Hello
We’ve enjoyed a new programme of cool acts, hot jazz and some very special events including an International Women’s Day double bill, the new album from ARQ with a live recording at the Vortex and a mention to the wonderful Carol Grimes who celebrates her 80th Birthday this year! Watch this space for our Autumn 2024 events at St Matthias Halls N16.
The Non Conformists continue their residency at RYAN’S Bar in Stoke Newington Church Street every third Wednesday of the month. Next one July 17th and then a break for August & Sept. Back October 16th. Cosy jazz bar, great atmosphere, craft beers, Yard Sale pizzas.
We also have a Blow the Fuse programmed season for Lauderdale House, now in our fourth season. We’ve had a very successful start with some wonderful bands and nearly every gig sold out
With the superb team at Lauderdale House we’re hoping this season will be as splendid and popular as our first few seasons were. Thursday nights,

Blow the Fuse ‘On Air’
In 2020 – 2021, we were awarded funding by the Arts Council of England to produce a series of online concerts recorded exclusively by Blow the Fuse from the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston plus archive film footage and interviews. We’d like to thank everyone who’s supported us through these extraordinary times and to all of you who became a BTF Patron through donations. Your support was crucial and helped us to produce TEN shows in all. A very steep but rewarding learning curve.
All shows can now be viewed anytime on our You Tube channel HERE
Carol Grimes • Deirdre Cartwright • Liane Carroll • Annie Whitehead
D’n’A present vintage Guest Stars • Martha & Eve + The DaDa Dandies
Back to the 70s • The Casimir Connection + Add3io • Ian Shaw • ARQ

Many thanks to the Arts Council Of England for their support….

Thanks to everyone involved, it meant a lot to us, we’re really honoured.
Tomorrow the Moon, supported by PRS Foundation’s The Open Fund began in January 2020. We have finally been able to stage our last two events of this season this Autumn 2022 with Alex Clarke and ARQ + Balledestre.
We were delighted to have received funding to record the latest ARQ album ‘Short Stories’ and for a national tour promoting the album.
and to the equally wonderful people working at the PRSF for the Women Make music fund.
