Make your way down to St James this Friday the 12th from 7pm, to catch this incredible performance!
For over 30 years, Tomorrow’s Warriors has played a vital role within its community and the wider music industry and has been credited with literally changing the face of UK jazz.
Outstanding young jazz trombonist and Tomorrow's Warriors alumni Christ-Stéphane Boizi is currently in his second year at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
Christ-Stephane blends this hard-bop psyche with elements of Gospel and contemporary jazz in his own stunning compositions that are becoming the hallmark of this exciting emerging artist.

We’re heading back to St James this Saturday 13th of July from 8pm, as The Allergies perform at the first Mirror Ball Night with a full live band!
Their brand of feel-good funk and hyped-up hip-hop has seen them clock up A List status and numerous ‘Album of The Day’ gongs at BBC 6 Music, and soundtrack a whole host of international ad campaigns.
The Allergies have certainly earned a rep for their dynamite crowd-rocking. And, with some new material in the bag, it looks like they’ll be raising the roof even higher in this brilliant show.
