On Friday 5 September this one-day jazz festival will take place outside of Spitalfields Market in Bishops Square just off Brushfield Street. The outdoor section of the festival will run from lunch to early evening, from there it will move to Christ Church.

Programme Highlights

12:30-1:30 Billy Jenkins and Steve Morrison  ‘Here is the Blues!’
South East London guitarists Steve Morrison and Billy Jenkins present a brand new two -man, two-guitar, two-voiced programme of topical blues.  Songs of wisdom, sadness, stupidity and human nature – both original and reworked blues classics – served up with a delicious, seductive double electric guitar twang.

2:35 – 3:35 Harry Beckett Band
Trumpet legend Beckett has played with a virtual who’s who of British jazz.  Here he plays with a cracking band featuring Chris Biscoe – sax, Liam Noble – piano, John Edwards – bass, Tony – Marsh – drums

Led Bib5:00 - 6:00 Led Bib
Led Bib was formed in 2003 by drummer/composer Mark Holub and have released three albums to critical acclaim both nationally and internationally.  They are fresh from a heaving gig at North Sea Jazz Festival and are in the studio in August to record their fourth album for Cuneiform Records in the USA to be released in May 2009.
