Jazz duo Beraha and Law conjure up a spellbinding, intimate atmosphere with beautiful interpretations of jazz standards alongside original compositions. 



British/Turkish vocalist, composer and lyricist Brigitte Beraha and leading UK guitarist/composer Ant Law launched their album Ensconced in 2024 to great acclaim. It was described as “jaw-dropping, fulfilling and uplifting” in UK Jazz News.



Their programme includes standards ‘A Kiss to Build a Dream On’ (made famous by Louis Armstrong) and Leonard Bernstein’s ‘Some Other Time’ from On The Town that Beraha and Law interpret afresh.



Inspired by Law’s compositions, Beraha exhibits rich lyrical storytelling, from wistful memories of growing up in the south of France in ‘Who We Are’ to the tale of a gifted horse in ‘Clever Hans’. Her deeply expressive vocals, alongside Law’s inventive and melodic acoustic guitar artistry, are the elements at the very heart of their music

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was an American jazz alto saxophonist whose playing was infused with an infectious gospel tinged earthiness. His playing has been a great inspiration to saxophonist Will Paley who will be presenting Adderley’s music accompanied by Philip Clouts at the piano and John Donnelly on the bass.



Cannonball Adderley is perhaps best remembered for the 1966 soul jazz single "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy",which became a major crossover hit on the pop and R&B charts. Adderley worked with Miles Davis, first as a member of the Davis sextet, appearing on the seminal records ‘Milestones’ (1958) and ‘Kind of Blue’ (1959), and then on his own 1958 album ‘Somethin' Else’. He collaborated with numerous other musicians during his career, notably saxophonist John Coltrane and vocalist Nancy Wilson.



Will Paley is a highly sought after saxophonist based in Exeter. He performs regularly around the UK and has played at some of the country’s most prestigious venues including The Barbican Centre, The Vortex, The 100 Club, Ronnie Scotts, Westminster Abbey and 10 Downing Street.



Will Paley will be highlighting many of the tunes that Cannonball Adderley made famous, including ‘Jive Samba’, Work Song’ and of course ‘Mercy, Mercy, Mercy’.

The Fabulous Red Diesel’s refreshing take on jazz and soul has been lauded by fans and critics alike. Having released their eighth studio album, ‘Goddess the Seahorse’ in 2024, and a new live album in 2025, they are fast becoming one of the most talked about bands on the circuit, with Barbara Streisand/Eartha Kitt style vocals, beautiful original songs, and sublime arrangements.



The band opened for The James Taylor Quartet and sold out Upstairs at Ronnie Scott's three times. They have played Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Rye and Sidmouth Jazz Festivals, as well as appearances at Boomtown, Small World, The Green Gathering and Glastonbury.



Their latest album, ‘The Queensbury House Sessions’, recorded live in a disused office block, tiny desk style, got playlisted by Jazz FM, and prompted DJ Deb Grant of BBC6 Music to say ''This band have made it onto my list of bands I intend to see as soon as I physically possibly can.’’

The heartfelt wail of the blues; the sultry heat of the campfire; the crazy swirl of the bal musette – all fused together with virtuosity and passion in the melting pot of 1930s Paris. The result was gypsy jazz.

Now La Vie en Rose play this exuberant, toe-tapping music with a swing and joie de vivre as fresh today as when Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli first conjured it from the back streets of Pigalle.

The band comprises five musicians with wide-ranging individual backgrounds in classical music, traditional jazz, rock, blues, country, ragtime and roots, pulled together by the shared pleasure of gypsy jazz and hot swing. 



“Gypsy jazz at its finest with hot fiddle, slaptastic bass and some sensational swing!”

One of the UK’s most exciting guitarists, Remi Harris is joined by double bassist Tom Moore and rhythm guitarist Chris Nesbitt to present an enthralling evening of Gypsy Jazz.



Combining musical virtuosity with passion and flair, this dynamic trio deliver a mesmerising show inspired by Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, and Joe Pass, (and also with a few nods to Remi’s blues hero Pete Green, of Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac fame).



The trio features Remi on a variety of acoustic and electric guitars playing an eclectic mix of original compositions, jazz standards like “All of Me” played at breakneck speed, and new arrangements of his favourite tunes, such as a bluesy gypsy jazz version of the Beatles “Can’t Buy Me Love”. 



Remi has toured worldwide as well as performing at Buckingham Palace, Montreal Jazz Festival, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum, on BBC 4 Television and live on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3.​
