The Gareth Lockrane Big Band
Pizza Express Jazz Club, W1D 3RW , [Venue Details]Starting from a single post pandemic Sunday lunchtime concert with the Gareth Lockrane Big Band in 2021, we built a three time per year residency for them across the last three years with awesome fresh writing, an album launch and outstanding audience enthusiasm and support.
So it is no surprise, that across 2025, we continue responding to our customers demands, with this further series of three spring, summer and autumn, residency concerts at PizzaExpress Jazz Club, by this sensational 19-piece British Big Band, led by the original writing and arranging of the brilliant jazz flautist Gareth Lockrane.
Mention Big Band Jazz and memories flood with the sound of our own Tubby Hayes Big Band and the great American sounds of Basie, Ellington, Dorsey, Evans, Jones & Marsalis. Add to that list the name Lockrane. It is one of the world’s most outstanding bands & comes from this side of the pond.
The audience to the last concert were enthusiastic. “Just wonderful” “Totally original” “…compelling sounds” “What an amazing British band of talent”.
The band will play new material from their eagerly expected, and already completed, new album to be issued in 2025, as well as music from their first album, “Fistfight At The Barndance”, rated a top five jazz album of the year in the British Jazz Awards, and short listed as Best jazz album in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
