Deptford Northern Soul Club + Support Djs

Deptford Northern Soul Club are childhood friends, Will Foot and Lewis Henderson, whose early love of soul developed after discovering Lewis’ dad’s record collection. After finally bringing their musical heritage to the forefront with their debut DJ set at Deptford’s bunker club 6 years ago, they have since taken their credible and unique club night around the UK, performing at the likes of Glastonbury Festival and Green Man, alongside residencies at Manchester’s YES and London’s Moth Club.

Whether behind a turntable, dancing out front or in discussion, their sheer love and passion for soul is infectious, as is the spark of friendship and mutual musical appreciation between the two of them. 31-years-old but with old heads on their sharply dressed young shoulders, they have emerged as the new face of Northern soul, Bringing the movement back into the conversation of modern dance music.

Jazz Steps: Jon Lloyd Quartet

Jon Lloyd speaks warmly about this line-up… “…my long-standing friend and musical collaborator, pianist John Law, was the only real choice for expressing the delicate harmonic fabric of this music. His combination of sensitivity, immense depth of musical knowledge and virtuosic technique makes him the perfect fit. Next, I wanted a drummer with the understated strength and imagination which this music requires. To find that in the young Alex Goodyear was a true miracle! On bass I needed someone with the ability to be both abstract and groovy, with super accurate pitch and a deep propulsive feel without necessarily having to swing! Like Alex, Nick Pini was an amazingly lucky find.”

Line-up: Jon Law – Saxophone, John Law – Piano, Nick Pinni – Bass, Alex Goodyear – Drums

Tommaso’s playing swings magnificently with impressive felicity and Italian flair. He has performed with some of the most respected jazz musicians including Billy Cobham, David Liebman, Kenny Wheeler, Stan Sulzmann and Jim Mullen.

Line-up: Tommaso Starace – Saxophones, Martin Jenkins – Hammond Organ Pip Harbon – Drums

Jazz Steps: James Allsopp Quartet – Getz

Stan Getz is probably best known for his stunning album Getz/Gilberto that brought to prominence bossa nova and the classic song “Girl from Ipanema” and for his signature sax sound.  But he enjoyed a career spanning decades and jazz genres, taking in both bebop and cool jazz.

This wonderful gig features music from the band’s brand new album Ballads and Bossas. It explores Stan’s varied musical legacy, interpreting the music respectfully but not reverentially, allowing it to breathe and feel natural for our time. It’s Allsopp’s salute to one of his all-time saxophone heroes – Stan Getz.

Line-up: James Allsopp – Saxophone, Colin Oxley – Guitar, Oli Hayhurst – Double Bass, Dave Storey – Drums,
