After his phenomenal sell-out shows in 2025, Shane Hampsheir returns with his celebration of swing and jazz classics and, once again, his spectacular and popular 17-piece jazz orchestra is in tow. The show will feature soothing and romantic standards by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Michael Bublé as well as punchy and exciting arrangements popularised by Harry Connick, Jr., Joe Williams and Sammy Davis, Jr. You can also expect to hear some brand new arrangements (by Evan Jolly and Graeme Taylor) previously featured on Shane's debut big band album and his recent iTunes Jazz Chart Number 1 singles. Shane is recognised within the music industry as both a very talented swing and big band vocalist as well as a versatile and accomplished performer. He has performed a number of highly acclaimed one-man shows in jazz clubs and theatres around the UK and Europe and is widely regarded as one of the country's top swing singers. Shane can often be seen with many of today's top big bands and orchestras including the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra.

Dom Pipkin

Alongside a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”. He first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has gone on to become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed “Piano Night” and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie Woogie festival circuit having played 1000’s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”. Pipkin developed a particular specialisation for the unique flavours of maverick New Orleans piano star James Booker (1939 - 1983) capturing the player’s trademark combination of driving blues married with rhapsodic classical influences. He was invited to play at the world premiere of the documentary “Bayou Maharajah” at SXSW in 2014, and at multiple subsequent screenings of the film. Pipkin regularly performs and records in New Orleans, and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint, Dr John and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he’s in town. In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics.

Down To The Bone

Grammy Nominated project with over Half Million Sales "hailed as the kings of UK jazz groove". Down To The Bone is Stuart Wade as producer, writer and mastermind behind the whole groove project, working with other talented musicians and co-writers to bring together a project of good grooves. Set up at the tail end of 1995 when Wade decided to take a track from the soul band he was in at the time, Think Twice, and remix it to give it a rawer and stripped down feel. The result was the Down To The Bone remix of the track 'Joy Is Free' which had great success. This Way Forward will be released on Dome/Cherry Red Records on 5th June. Following on from the success of his remix he teamed up with Think Twice keyboard player, Simon Greenaway, to put together a string of songs. This resulted in the first release on a 12” single of Staten Island Groove . Released on Internal Bass Records, a label Wade set up with another member of Think Twice. This resulted in rave reviews for the single and club and radio play across the U.K. It was at this time that Stuart decided to try to complete an album, From Manhattan To Staten , a title Wade came up with to show his influences from across the pond, it was decided to try to take the whole sound over to America to see what would happen. Wade was astounded by the huge response after two important .

Mulvey's Medicine
Live Music

Mulvey's Medicine

Prescribing funk, one groove at a time. Created from the soul-fueled streets of London, Mulvey’s Medicine is a band on a mission to make you move. They blend deep-pocket basslines, psychedelic keys and brass that bites — all wrapped up in a groove so tight it could fix your posture. Fronted by the ever-charismatic Dr. Mulvey (not an actual doctor, but definitely qualified to treat your funk deficiency), they mix up a potent dose of funk, soul and jazz. Think Sly Stone jamming with Jamiroquai, while Lettuce and Soulive keep things in the pocket - that’s our prescription. Whether they’re playing in a sweaty London basement or getting you dancing through your headphones, Mulvey’s Medicine is all about connection, rhythm and a good dose of joy. Riding high on the buzz surrounding their 2025 release Dopamine, this funk-jazz powerhouse has stepped confidently into a new era. The album captures the band at full throttle — razor-sharp grooves, elastic basslines, shimmering keys, and horn lines that cut through the air with swagger and soul. Lef Germenlis (keys) Alex Bramwell (bass) Jack Davies (saxophone) Jeremy Paul (drums) Eddie Mulvey (guitar)
