Andrew Cleyndert with Nadim Teimoori (saxophones), Mark Edwards (piano) and Winston Clifford (drums)
It is hard to overestimate the sheer amount of experience of Andrew Cleyndert. An incredibly youthful spirit, he was Ronnie Scott’s last bass player and has performed at the highest level over three decades.
Cleyndert has performed at Lauderdale House many times, not least with the iconic Stan Tracey and as recently as last December with the wonderful Tony Kofi Cannonball Adderley project. So we welcome his decision to step up and lead a band himself!
Brighton’s Mark Edwards is a phenomenal pianist, who worked regularly with the late – and truly great – Bobby Wellins. Winston Clifford is an outstanding drummer (and Director Katherine Ives’s favourite). When Winston is on the band, the swing is going to be right in the pocket! Which leaves one new face to be savoured; tenor Nadim Teimoori. When our programmer Brian Blain heard him perform three years ago, he was blown away by his talent. He now lives in Doncaster and is coming down specially for this gig.
Jazz in the House continues with Andrew Cleyndert featuring Mark Edwards, Winston Clifford and Nadim Teimoori. Doors open at 8pm and the concert begins at 8.30pm. The bar will be open from late afternoon for drinks and snacks.

Shireen Francis returns for a third visit to Lauderdale House! Every time, her warm and engaging personality make an incredible impact – she is one of those artists who really believes in taking her audience along with her.
Francis is totally at ease with the classic American Songbook – as her tribute to Peggy and Ella on her last visit to the House demonstrated so well – as well as relating to the blues and gospel influences of artists like Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Nina Simone.
“A brilliant vocalist whose beguiling performance left me wanting more” – Jazzwise magazine.
Shireen has forged a great relationship with her musicians, led by the formidable pianist Gunther Kurmayr. They go well beyond the ‘singer with pick up Trio’ formula.
Shireen Francis performs as part of this season’s Jazz in the House, alongside Gunther Kurmayr, Josh Kemp, Manuel Alvarez and Dave Ingamells. Doors open at 8pm and the concert begins at 8.30pm. The bar will be open from late afternoon for drinks and snacks.
A Bank Holiday Afternoon of Palm Court Music by the Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra.
The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra returns to Lauderdale house with a new selection of the popular tunes and songs from the beginning of the 20th century. The orchestra consists of string quartet, piano, flute and oboe, and has been praised for its lively interpretation of the genre.
The programme consists of tunes that should never have been forgotten and some that never will be.
The concert is a perfect introduction to classical music for youngsters and refreshing change for the veterans.
Chris Laurence with Frank Ricotti (vibes), John Parricelli (guitar), and Martin France (drums)
When it comes to jazz, playing the game of ‘who’s best?’ is surely a no-win situation. But anyone who was present the last time this band played at Lauderdale would have been sorely tempted to say Chris Laurence!
Laurence’s band mines a rich seam of mostly British composers like John Surman, Stan Sulzmann, John Parricelli (not to mention honorary Brit Kenny Wheeler!) with a soupcon of Steve Swallow. Their last show was one of the finest concerts that we have been privileged to present.
Chris Laurence returns for Jazz in the House, with Frank Ricotti, John Parricelli, and Martin France. Doors open at 8pm and the concert begins at 8.30pm. The bar will be open from late afternoon for drinks and snacks.
