Straight from their sell-out residency at Ronnie Scott’s, Ray Gelato and The Giants bring their acclaimed swing sound to Southern Maltings for Independent Venue Week.
Ray Gelato is one of the last great jazz entertainers, following in the footsteps of Cab Calloway, Louis Prima and Fats Waller. A charismatic singer, saxophonist, songwriter and bandleader, Ray has appeared on stages and festivals across the world from Brazil to New York City. His music captures the golden age of swing and jump blues with a style that is both authentic and fresh.
"Arguably the only British jazz artist with a proper stage show."
— London Evening Standard
Expect a night of pure rhythm and joy as the band run through a mix of timeless classics and Ray’s much-loved original songs. Each show is a celebration of the art of live performance, filled with warmth, humour and energy.
Join Ray and his outstanding band in paying tribute to the great entertainers who inspired generations. Be part of Independent Venue Week and help keep this incredible music swingin’. Book your tickets now and enjoy a night of first-class musicianship at Southern Maltings.
Tickets £25 in advance, £30 on the door (if available).
