There are no refunds for shows cancelled due to the weather.

Jazz in the House 2024: Immy Churchill Quartet
Get ready for the Immy Churchill Quartet – emerging new stars who are taking the jazz scene by storm.
The Immy Churchill quartet celebrates their love of incredible jazz singers such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie in this evening of storytelling through The American Songbook and other great songwriters. Immy Churchill is recognised as a “rising star” on the jazz scene and will be joined by fellow leading lights Scottie Thompson, Jonah Evans and John Williamson.
Fresh from the Royal Academy of Music, Immy cites her influences from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra to Joni Mitchell and Norma Winstone. She is already making a name for herself on the London scene, playing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express and The Royal Albert Hall.
“Each time I have heard Churchill sing, I have noted not just her ability to impress, by bringing understanding and a sense of music clarity to complex vocal lines, but also to affect an audience emotionally, to draw in our attention and to give memorable performances which stay in the mind.” London Jazz News.
We are proud to support emerging young artists as part of our Jazz in the House programme and are looking forward to welcoming the Immy Churchill Quartet who will be filling in last minute for the Clark Tracey Quintet.
