Join us for an unforgettable night of timeless swing, jazz flair, and captivating storytelling as celebrated trumpeter and vocalist Gareth John brings his acclaimed Story of Swing to life in an intimate, up-close-and-personal setting.

Backed by a handpicked quintet of some of the UK's finest rising jazz talents who regularly perform at institutions such as Ronnie Scotts, Gareth pays heartfelt tribute to the legends who shaped his musical journey — from the velvety tones of Tony Bennett, the infectious energy of Louis Prima, and the haunting beauty of Chet Baker, to the iconic stylings of Frank Sinatra.

With a career as varied and vibrant as the music itself, Gareth’s dynamic presence and rich musicality promise a performance that’s both technically brilliant and deeply entertaining. Expect familiar classics, fresh interpretations, and stories that breathe new life into the golden era of swing.
