Jazz Verse Juke Box

Continuing the age-old tradition of intertwining jazz improvisation and spoken word, Jazz Verse Jukebox is back with some heart felt music, poetry and lyrics! The evening will feature Hackney born poet Raymond Antrobus; popping over from Paris is Margo Berdeshevsky who’ll be sharing some of her exhilarating poetry. Also performing will be broadcaster Eleanor Penny and poet/actor Gabriel Akamo completes the line-up of spoken word artists. But that’s not all! We’re in for a real musical treat from 19-year old musician, songwriter and jazz guitartist Rosie Frater-Taylor. The unique Jukebox Open Mic slot gives members of the audience an opportunity to perform poetry or sing with the band.
