The Parlour
Last night I played the press night of London's new basement jazz and cabaret bar The Parlour, which is inspired by Art Deco 1930’s jazz clubs. The gig was with the fantastic, authentic jazz vocalist Nicola Emmanuelle. It's a pleasure to have more gigs coming up with Nicola, see the live dates page for more info.
