The Adrian Cox Quartet // 4 Mar
Formed in the summer of 2012, the Adrian
Cox Quartet combines four of the UK's
finest jazz musicians playing a mix of hard
jazz and swing. Adrian has been billed as
London's most charismatic reeds player
and this is proven in his solid attack to the
music he plays. Adrian is highly influenced
by many of the greats including George
Lewis, Jonny Hodges, Earl Bostic, Edmond
Hall amongst others. The end result is a
fresh take on the music he loves and lives.
The Adrian Cox Quartet is completed
by Nils Solberg guitar and vocals, George
Trebar double bass and Mez Clough on drums who between them have
toured extensively around the world playing at some of the most prestigious
venues.

The Bootleg
Beatles // 6 Mar
Formed from the
original cast of
London’s West End
hit show Beatlemania,
The Bootleg Beatles
have become 'an
institution' in their own
right with their noteperfect recreation of
hits from every era of
the world’s most
famous songbook. Every tiny detail is meticulously covered from costumes
to authentic period instruments; from the ‘Liverpudlian’ banter to their
‘inflection perfect’ vocal mimicry. But it’s not only their sound that is so
authentic; they bear an uncanny resemblance to the Fab Four. As one
reviewer recently said: “It’s not John, Paul, George and Ringo... but you
simply won’t believe it.”
7pm. Price: from £29
