Peggy’s Spotlight
We’re excited to be welcoming emerging musicians to the stage for our new monthly Peggy’s Spotlight event! We are thrilled to be joined by Afrodesia, playing Afro- Jazz fusion that will make you want to get up and dance and Magnus Hawker-French Quartet, who will be playing a mixture of unheard originals and fresh arrangements of classic standards.
Afrodesia
Leeds based Afro-Jazz fusion band Afrodesia has played across many dance floors around the UK. Bringing fast paced rhythms, bursting melodies and rapid improvisation, Afrodesia channels the raw energy and beat from the motherland. Drawing upon influences from all across Africa such as Afrobeat, Highlife, Juju, Kwela, Kwasa kwasa and combining it with jazz.
Afrodesia hopes to continue the legacy of the many African giants such as Fela Kuti, Hugh Masekela, Ebo Taylor and many more. No matter the place or time, the burning groove and hot energy of Afrodesia is sure to bring fire to the dance floor and make your feet tap and dance!
Magnus Hawker-French Quartet
Nottingham’s own Magnus Hawker-French is an exciting up and coming artist on the UK jazz scene. Described by UK jazz and funk legend Dennis Rollins as the future of jazz trombone, Magnus is enjoying a breakout year in his career – having recorded with Chaka Khan, played for royalty, and performed regularly across the UK.
He will be teaming up with three of the East Midlands finest young jazz musicians, Lucas Walters (piano), Oli Fitzgerald (bass) and Louis Chapman (drums) to form the Magnus Hawker-French Quartet, who will be playing a mixture of previously unheard originals and fresh arrangements of classic standards.
