Peggy’s Spotlight
“The event’s mission is to shine a light on homegrown talent giving them a chance to shine on a stage that feels like home…” – Iulia Teodora Matei, Leftlion
We’re back for another Spotlight event, welcoming early-career musicians to the stage! This month, we’re excited to welcome back Ade Anifowose Quartet playing an eclectic set, journeying through afro-cuban, traditional swung jazz and brazilian samba styles and Kai Kinsley trio, who seeks to explore new ways of interpreting standard jazz repertoire with a contemporary voice.
Ade Anifowose Quartet
Ade Anifowose is a drummer currently studying Music at the University of Nottingham. As a way of bringing his artistic vision and material to life for his end of year recital in June 2025, he formed a trio recruiting Lucas Walters on piano and Simon Paterson on bass to play alongside him. Together, they played an eclectic set of music, journeying through afro-cuban, traditional swung jazz and brazilian samba styles.
With an affinity for music’s unique storytelling qualities, Ade always seeks to arrange a compelling set of music that leaves its mark on the audience. A highlight from the trio’s June performance was Duke Ellington’s “Caravan” reimagined by Ade, that captured its melancholic vibe in an exciting syncopated afro-cuban style. After having a successful Spotlight performance last November this trio aims to continue with their music making, experimenting with new compositions to effectively put on a great show, and will next feature Arjun Chandrasekar on the saxophone.

Kai Kinsley Trio
Kai Kinsley is a Nottingham born, London based drummer in his first year studying jazz at Trinity Laban Conservatoire under the mentorship of some of the top jazz musicians in the UK such and Jonny Mansfield and Gene Calderazzo. In this trio, Kai partners with Oli FitzGerald (bass) and Chris Outhwaite (piano), both Trinity Laban alumni/students and two of the premier emerging talents in the London jazz scene. Inspired by the great piano trios of Chick Corea, Ray Brown, and Bill Evans, as well as the rhythm sections of Miles Davis, Kai aims to deliver a set of exciting, virtuosic renditions of jazz standards with a contemporary voice. Combining deep musical chemistry and elastic, driving grooves, the trio seeks to explore new ways of interpreting standard jazz repertoire on the bandstand, while reaching the audience directly with a performance full of flair and energy.
