- **Event Name**: Shear Brass: Celebrating Sir George Shearing
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 07:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Led by Sir George Shearing’s great nephew, drummer Carl Gorham, ‘Shear Brass’ returns on tour after its critically acclaimed debut in 2023, bringing a fresh and dynamic new approach to the music of one of Britain’s greatest ever jazz pianists and composers.

Combining the punch of a big band with the intimacy of a small group, this hard-swinging, highly melodic outfit showcases some of the UK’s most gifted soloists. Whether reinterpreting classics such as ‘Conception’ and ‘Lullaby of Birdland’ or re-introducing lesser-known tunes such as ‘Black Satin’ and ‘Children’s Waltz’, its richly varied live show mirrors Shearing’s own development, encompassing swing, be-bop, cool and Latin jazz, topped off with some of the most celebrated vocal numbers of the 20th century.

The show is compered by Carl who brings a unique perspective to proceedings, fusing family history and biography laced with some of the trademark Shearing wit.

“An absolute treat for all music lovers everywhere.”

— Jools Holland

“They don’t come much better than this musical feast.”
