Clare Teal and Pee Wee Ellis, Extra Curricular, Dennis Rollins’ Velocity Trio and an After Hours with Kamaljeet Ajimal and Sukhami Rayat.

Three hours of breathtaking music from a diverse line-up of outstanding performers brought together, for this performance only, by award-winning British trombone star – Dennis Rollins, who also features with his brand-new acoustic, straight-ahead jazz outfit, Dennis Rollins’ Velocity Trio.

Extra Curricular, a young seven-piece band. Fronted by ‘End of the Weak’ World Champion emcee Jack Flash, and featuring Yamaha/Classic FM Jazz Scholarship winning vocalist, Ruby Wood, and Zimbabwean soul singer Thabo Mkwananzi, backed by a super tight rhythm section combining a horn section, turntables and samplers, alongside guitar, bass and drums.

Renowned for creating funk with the late, great James Brown, American saxophonist extraordinaire Pee Wee Ellis (who co-wrote ‘Cold Sweat’ and ‘Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud’) is a legend in his own time. Whilst the celebrated British jazz diva, Clare Teal, is a household name with a clutch of prestigious awards. Together their repertoire encompasses, jazz, ballads, blues and more in a swinging and
funky show.

This extraordinary evening culminates in an After Hours, in the bar, with an intimate performance by the astonishing Santoor player Kamaljeet Ajimal and Tabla player Sukhmani Rayat.

Grab a seat and tuck in, as a guest of Hardeep Singh Kohli. This celebrated broadcaster, raconteur, writer and cook combines comedy with inventive cuisine in a wonderfully funny, laid back evening’s entertainment.

Just think Ready Steady Cook meets Masterchef (Hardeep was runner-up on the first series of Celebrity Masterchef) so it’s great cooking and funny anecdotes, all delivered by Glaswegian Hardeep in his own unique, articulate and utterly charming way. Having debuted at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where the show played to sell-out audiences, this extended, two-course version of The Nearly Naked Chef, combines more of Hardeep’s winning talents and recipes.
