Charlie Wood is a singer, songwriter and keyboardist whose work incorporates elements of jazz, blues, traditional r&b and popular music
Born and raised in Memphis, TN, Charlie headed down the Mississippi to New Orleans at seventeen, spending a few formative years soaking up the music and culture of the Big Easy and playing keys with local favourites like Charmaine Neville. He returned to Memphis in his early twenties to join the band of legendary blues guitarist Albert King, with whom he toured the US and Europe
Having established a musical reputation for himself, Charlie took up a long-standing residency with his Hammond organ trio at King's Palace on Beale Street. The gig became known to touring musicians and locals alike, attracting impromptu sit-ins from B.B. King, Georgie Fame, Joey DeFrancesco, George Coleman, Mulgrew Miller, Alvin Batiste, and many others.
In October 2014, Wood became the 136th recipient of a Brass Note on Beale Street, the Memphis equivalent of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Other recipients include such musical luminaries as Elvis Presley, Al Green, and Isaac Hayes.
Wood is an accomplished and prolific singer/songwriter with numerous original releases under his belt, including "Southbound" and "Who I Am" on Ben Sidran's GoJazz label and "Flutter and Wow" on Memphis-based Archer Records. His original song “Promised Land” won the 2016 U.S.A Songwriting Competition, Jazz category. His song “Never Gonna Stop New Orleans” was recorded by legendary New Orleans soul singer Irma Thomas for the soundtrack of “The Big Uneasy”, a documentary film by Harry Shearer.
Wood has also become a sought-after and highly original composer/arranger, with recent works performed by the BBC Big Band, the RTÉ Orchestra, the Brodsky String Quartet, the Carducci String Quartet & others.
Now living in the UK with his wife, celebrated British vocalist Jacqui Dankworth, Charlie continues touring and recording regularly. Notable performances have included the London Jazz Festival's "Jazz Voice" at the Royal Festival Hall, BBC Radio 2's "Friday Night Is Music Night" at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Radio 2's "Jools Holland Show," and numerous other concerts throughout the UK and Europe.

“Sardinian Guitarist Giorgio Serci’s music is utterly mesmerising.” – Phil Castang, International Guitar Foundation
Giorgio is an outstanding musician, composer and arranger who delivers emotion in his music coupled with beautiful technique, great sound and a warm and engaging personality.
Join us for an evening of cinematic jazz, heartfelt melodies and exceptional musicianship — not to be missed.
The trio are Giorgio Serci - guitars, Davide Mantovani - bass and Filippo Galli - drums.
The music of this quartet features original compositions, stylistically drawing on the European concept of jazz, where melody, space, the musicians' relationship, movement, sound, and colour play a crucial role. This music is full of expression and twists, captivating the listener from the very beginning, revealing undiscovered corners of European jazz music.
Przemysław Strączek – jazz guitarist, composer, producer and band leader. Graduate of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, honored with, among others, the Special Award of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage (2013) and the Award of the Marshal of the Silesian Voivodeship in the field of music (2015). For over two decades, he has consistently pursued his own artistic path, based on dialogue between cultures, styles and personalities. Searches in the sphere of music take place on many levels: in the approach to harmony, aesthetics, sound or tone colour. The sum of these new perspectives is reflected in the recordings – each subsequent album becomes a mosaic composed of different traditions that enter into relations with each other and create a dialogic musical language. His album Fig Tree gained wide recognition: the British-French portal Jazz Fuel recognised it as one of the best European jazz albums of 2020, and the vinyl edition was ranked 4th among the best-selling vinyl records in Poland (according to ZPAV)
Features: Duncan Eagles - tenor sax, Przemysław Strączek - guitar, Kuba Cywiński - double bass, and Ollie Peszynski - drums
Rowan Flack is a jazz and folk-inspired vocalist and composer whose musical roots trace from the BRIT School and Trinity Laban to Norway’s Edvard Grieg Academy, where she studied Norwegian folk and jazz on the west coast of Norway.
Her debut EP New Light Dwelling (2019) featured original vocalese set to Keith Jarrett’s ‘Belonging’ and was shaped by mountainous terrain, leaving London and the quiet unravelling of a long-term relationship. This project led to sold-out headline shows in Bergen and marked the beginning of her professional career, including a three-month jazz residency in Xiamen, China.
In the years that followed, Rowan worked with musicians across the UK and Norwegian jazz scenes and led the alternative folk-jazz group Giant Folk, before co-writing her second EP, Forest Fires (2024). This release received praise from the likes of Jazzwise, Jazz FM and Notion as well as double-headline and support shows at venues including Pizza Express Jazz Club, House of KOKO, Mr Wolf's (Bristol), and Shindig Festival.
This concert also marks the release of her latest EP ‘Nap on the Sofa’ on the independent label Pretty Decent Music.
The band comprises established musicians from London, Bristol and Ireland: Jack Lecomber (bass), Rob Dimbleby (keys), Andrew McCoubrey (drums) and Celeste Cantor-Stephens (trumpet).
