They are regular performers at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho and the world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club along with a number of other leading venues across the country. In 2023, they opened the London Jazz Festival for the Pizza Express Jazz Club with UK singing sensation Emma Smith.

Join singer-songwriters Gabriel Moreno and Madeline Thorp for a one-off concert in Leeds at The Book Club Hyde Park.
Gabriel Moreno and Madeline Thorpe are integral part of the London Alternative Folk Revival which favours poetical and political lyrics and passionate performances which take from other more energetic genres.
This show will also part of the nationwide tour of Nights In The Belly Of Bohemia with Richars Moore on violin and Juampi Mauro on bass.

Gabriel Moreno

GABRIEL MORENO
"Moreno’s warm voice, embroidered by The Quivering poets accompaniment, engrosses and soothes. Meditative one moment and despairing the next, these unhurried songs offer spiritual succour and solidarity, a balm for our trying times"
- Morning Star ★★★★★

“The songs tread a path between Folk, Latin and cabaret torch song. It’s an oddly effective mix which forms the perfect bed for Gabriel Moreno’s distinctive voice -a blend of Leonard Cohen, Peter Sarstedt, and dare I say it, Rex Harrison.” -(Trevor Raggart, RNR magazine)
“An Offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” (Cerys Mathews, BBC6)
Gabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also an accomplished poet, with 12 books published to date). Performing on nylon string guitar and accompanied by The Quivering Poets, he creates a live experience that has been described as ”Taberna Folk” - at once both energetic and intimate, anarchic and absorbing.

Madeline Thorp

Madeline lives in a constant state of reinvention with each performance bringing a totally unique alchemy of soul baring lyricism and a fearless stage presence. Having carved her name firmly in the London folk scene, the release of her debut single, “No One Can Have Me” in March of this year demonstrates her commitment to representing her lived experiences, bringing an urgency to connect with the listener. The single makes up part of a project ran by Spritual Records, funded by Arts Council England to support independent Artists that they truly believe in. Madeline now embarks on her first UK tour consisting of, to her delight, plenty of northern towns, the places that consistently haunt her lyrics and humour. With an equal measure of rehearsal and wishing, she hopes she can provide an evening of excellent music. For fans of Fiona Apple, Florence and the Machine or one of the many Folk- musicians that graduated from the Chelsea Hotel, Madeline is a force worth lending your ears to. As the poet and musician Gabriel Moreno whom the night will be shared with, recently wrote “There is nothing exceptional in her singing, except that for when she sings, the whole of London turns inside out”.

DJ Lubi continues his monthly Hyde Park Book Club residency with an Easter Sunday event co-promoted with Leeds hip-hop producer/MC ExP called "Absolutely Made Up". It's a completely improvised, on-the-spot, hip-hop live band jam featuring musicians from ExP's Jamettone collective plus DJ Hashfinger, and showcasing the freestyle talents of top UK MC Jack Flash. It does what it says on the tin.....a one-off, totally improvised set of music and bars that will not be duplicated ever again. Warming up with an MC and DJ session are highly rated Leeds hip-hop duo Oliver Rees and DJ Agent M.  Firstly, here's an intro about the Jamettone concept.

Jamettone make music in the moment. Completely improvised sessions which are filmed and recorded regularly. The good stuff gets released.

Contributors have played Montreux Jazz Festival, Glastonbury, Shepherds Bush Empire, Alexandra Palace & countless more. They’ve appeared on Jools Holland and Bob Harris’ shows, had their work used on national television and adverts: CBS, BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, UEFA, Sky Sports, Eurosport and had their music played on BBC radio 1, 2, 3 4 & 6. One of them even wrote the theme tune to Deal or No Deal.

The project came about in 2018 following conversations Leeds hip-hop producer/MC ExP had with various musicians around West Yorkshire regarding the need for a jam night where people of all abilities could have a place to play music with each other. The idea was that, for 3 hours, anyone would turn up to DubWhy Studios whenever and jam with whatever instruments, with whoever, and that would be that. Nothing fancier. ExP was adamant there would be no recording, let alone filming, as he knew that once he started recording it, he’d get obsessed with it, and try to create something with it. Whoops.

The first officially recorded jam was on the 19th January 2019 and during this session (as had been tradition for the jams prior to it), a panettone (brought by cellist and jam regular Nick Bennion), was shared amongst the musicians at the half-time break. A Jamettone.

The Jamettone ethos is “no f**king covers” and everything is always improvised. There are allowances for preparation in as much as musicians triggering samples etc may have a chance to gather these samples pre-jam, but otherwise the music that is made is entirely on the spot and in the moment.

Since its “free-for-all” origins, all jams are now carefully curated by ExP, (nearly) always featuring him on keys and then 3 to 5 other musicians.

With hundreds of live improvisation videos now under their belt, plus music releases and a string of live shows behind them, the plan is to release more of the music they’ve made (which exceeds 2000 individual tracks). Jamettone are not aiming to disappear into the fog anytime soon.

Featured guest at this show is world champion freestyle MC Jack Flash, known offstage as Rob Bradley, who is a versatile and much respected artist based in West Yorkshire. With a sound grounded in hip-hop, he’s evolved his craft by seamlessly blending rap with raw, stripped-back acoustic elements. He’s celebrated for his insightful storytelling, astute social observations, and the distinct razor-sharp wit characteristic of his Northern British roots. Once again, Jack Flash will be totally improvising his bars/lyrics from scratch on the night, asking for subject matter from audience members.

There'll be warm-up sets from Jamettone crew members ExP and DJ Hashfinger. Support comes from two stars of the Leeds hip-hop scene, MC Oliver Rees and DJ/producer Agent M. So, if you like your hip-hop blended with live music and heavy doses of soul, jazz, razor sharp bars and a touch of humour, get down to the Book Club on Easter Sunday.

Album launch tour for Leeds/London based four-piece The Black Lagoons. Kicking off in the basement of Hyde Park Book Club on the 24th! With afterparty at Wax Bar.
A listener might think that Ennio Morricone, Glen Branca, and Angelo Badalamenti had joined forces to compose music for The Gun Club, or that Lee Hazlewood had borrowed The Bad Seeds from Nick Cave.
This sound has evolved over 10 years of playing together, starting as teenagers playing the likes of Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash. Through these years of evolution, they’ve supported acts such as The Wytches, And Yet It Moves, Warmduscher, The Psychotic Monks, and more. A thread of rock ‘n’ roll has continued down the line and woven itself into their debut album, ‘These Hills We Ride’ – to be released April 25th.
The conception of the debut album began in Leeds in 2022, found its way to Ramsgate to be recorded in 2023, then to the ears of French label Creme Brulee, to finally be released via the label in 2025.

Beneath the painted hues and infinite prairie skies of Saskatoon -- a city in the heart of Canada -- lies a soulful, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to the so-called ‘fly-over states’ than grassland and grain silos. Katie Tupper, an indie R&B musician, embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing music at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper's two EPs of heartland soul - 2022's Towards The End, and 2023's Where To Find Me - have amassed 11 million streams world wide, a JUNO Award nomination (2024 Traditional R&B-Soul Recording of the Year), the praise of tastemakers like Zane Lowe, and international radio spins from BBC 6Music (UK), FIP (France), and CBC (Canada). More recently, Tupper’s covers of everything from Hall & Oates to Jazmine Sullivan have gone viral on social media earning nods from superstars like SZA and Joe Jonas.

Katie Tupper returns with "Outside The Gate," a devastatingly beautiful track about facing the reality of how you show up for someone you love. Reflecting on the song, Katie says, "I think more people need to feel allowed to admit that we will never be perfect in our relationships even when they are everything we've wanted." And admit she does, with each poignant repetition of "I think I'm broken," hitting deeper every time, giving a raw and beautiful testament to love’s imperfections.

In the span of its relatively short existence, Tramhaus has managed to make a name far beyond the borders of their hometown. Marked by their joyous and energetic experience, the band has proven to be able to convey this message both in live and recorded settings. The music of Tramhaus feels like a soundtrack to a vivacious, mysterious, and dangerous story. There is no room to lean back as the band takes you with them in a drag race full of emotions and euphoria driven by streamlined, fiery songs mixed with fragile and abstract tones. This whole spectacle is fueled by the near-symbiotic relationship between the five band members.

Since their formation in 2021, Tramhaus released four 7” vinyl singles and the 12” ‘Rotterdam’ EP. They were shortlisted for a Music Moves Europe Award, featured as Song of the Day at KEXP Seattle, as well as receiving critical acclaim from international media.

They embarked on headlining tours across France, Germany, and the UK, as well as Central- and Northern Europe, Spain & Portugal, and did a successful seven day tour in Japan in November 2023. Tramhaus performed at leading European festivals including Best Kept Secret, Levitation France, Sziget, Colours of Ostrava, Dour, Tremor, Les Vielles Charrues, and showcases ESNS, The Great Escape, MaMa, Tallinn Music Week and Reeperbahn. Recently they performed eight times during SXSW.

'The seasoned folk singer Paul Armfield moved to the Isle of Wight at the age of ten, where he now runs a bookshop. His 2015 album 'Found' was inspired by a treasure trove of old photographs, while 2020's Domestic matched ten of Armfield's own meticulously wrought linocuts of native plants to each track. Mark Radcliffe is a big fan (as are Elbow's Guy Garvey, Lauren Laverne and our own Caitlin Moran).’ The Times

Having spent the past 30 years balancing a career in bookselling with his sideline as a singer songwriter, Paul Armfield has finally reconciled the two worlds in an album of songs about books and reading. With his intimate baritone and warm stage presence, his renditions of these literate, witty songs, accompanied only by his guitar and musical saw will leave you completely charmed.

Nap Eyes’ metamorphic fifth long-player collects a cache of nine fascinating songs recorded over the four years since Snapshot of a Beginner. The Neon Gate reveals classic touchstones (the uneasy interplay of physics and philosophy, perambulatory meditations, self-interrogating soliloquies, apertures of surreality, video games), but also evidence of divergent impulses toward nonlinear abstraction and longform improvisational composition (resulting in their most discursive, deconstructed, and deliquescent songs to date) and narrative and lyric formality (including adaptations of thorny poems by Alexander Pushkin and W. B. Yeats), imparting the sense that Nap Eyes have transmuted, as has their understanding of what a song is, what it can do, where it might go. (Including color inner sleeve with lyrics.)

Masters of subtlety. – NPR

Snapshot of a Beginner feels as much a modest masterpiece as [The Go-Betweens’] Spring Hill Fair or [Belle and Sebastian’s] Tigermilk. What sets them apart is the fear and trembling. – Uncut

"Makin' Runs," the latest project by internationally acclaimed clarinetist Adrian Cox, delves into alternative ragtime repertoire from the early jazz era, aiming to capture and express the timeless essence of the music.

According to legend, "Makin' Runs" is a tune attributed to Buddy Bolden, heard by Bunk Johnson in New Orleans. The phrase symbolises Bolden's vision for inventive improvisations whilst never repeating himself.

The trio endeavours to emulate that spirit, crafting tight yet dynamic arrangements that honour the music's original intent, allowing ample room for improvisational fire.

The program includes compositions by Duke Ellington, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Barney Bigard and many more. 

The trio is completed by the incredible talents of 

“Honey” Boulton (guitar) & Alex Gilson (double bass)

Internationally acclaimed jazz clarinetist Adrian Cox at age 41 is certainly performing at the top of his game. He is one of the leading exponents of the New Orleans clarinet and has a huge wealth of knowledge of the music and the players of the era. His unrivalledunrivalledfeel and virtuosity for the music he plays have led to concerts with the biggest names in jazz including two concerts with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra both in London and New York.  Adrian spends the majority of his life on tour around the world and at the time of writing this, has performed in over 30 countries in the past 18 months. Adrian is a Vandoren Artist and endorses Buffet Crampon.

Longtime Leeds jazz promoter DJ Lubi continues his monthly residency at Hyde Park Book Club Leeds with a great UK jazz show and album launch on May 18th by jazz/electronic music artist Greg Surmacz.

Greg Surmacz is a multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Leeds. His music is influenced by jazz, footwork and the spectrum of UK electronic music. Having gained support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Tom Ravenscroft, Bandcamp Weekly, Spotify Jazz UK, Moses Boyd, Bandcamp, performing at We Out Here Festival and sharing stages with corto.alto, James Holden, Colin Stetson & Sarathy Korwar, Greg announces his fifth album ‘Building Beyond The Sky’ with the release of energetic debut single ‘Loft Music’. Now playing with a full live band, this first single harnesses a potent creative energy, melding Greg’s signature dubbed out low-end sonics, with heavy, scattered percussive elements, propelled by an urgent synth line and majestic horns. 

The live band features some heavyweight musicians from the contemporary UK jazz scene :

Greg Surmacz - alto saxophone, synth, electronics

Sam Vicary (Cinematic Orchestra)  - bass synth 

Matt Davies (Matters Unknown) - drums 

Tom Sharp - trumpet 

Rosie Turton - trombone 

Caitlin LM - baritone saxophone

On the track’s inspiration, Greg explains: “Loft Music is about creating energy and forward momentum, building something from nothing.  The title was inspired by the 'loft jazz' scene of 1970s New York. Fed up with the restraints of traditional venues, musicians started putting on casual events in loft spaces. At these shows, artists felt free to play whatever they wanted, for however long they wanted. I wanted this record to be direct and powerful, and this track quickly became the focal point of that. It has a sense of urgency from the beginning which only increases over its running time - start high, then get higher. The energy and intensity of footwork has always been a big source of inspiration to me - I tried to imagine a live band playing that music and this is where I ended up.”

"A wild ride... really enjoyable." Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2) on What We Can Assume

"A great album." Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music) on What We Can Assume

"Thanks to his band Paper Tiger, Leeds resident Greg Surmacz has long been a quiet hero in the interzone between live jazz and the Flying Lotus-adjacent “beat scene.” This year, on his two solo albums, he’s refined his style even further—and on the second installment, he’s achieved a brilliant personal statement. Chiptune bleeps blur into lengthy, lyrical sax lines; jumpy broken beats manage to blend with laid back pastoral chords. It’s incredibly coherent—and very, very lovely."

A frenetic and captivating statement of intent, ‘Loft Music’ demonstrates the incredible progression in Greg’s work and gives a glimpse of what to expect from the full length LP in May 2025.

WELCOME TO PLANET WEEKEND: DIRTY NICE’S SURREAL CARTOON-POP PLAYGROUND

Step right up and dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of Dirty Nice! This UK six-piece isn’t just a band—they’re a multi-sensory, mind-bending experience that blurs the lines between music, art, and pure escapism.

Critics call them "charming" (The FADER), "mind-bending" (Rolling Stone), and "whimsical and playful" (MTV). Now, they’re inviting YOU to experience it all LIVE with the launch of their most ambitious project yet: Planet Weekend.

Imagine MGMT’s day-glo pop colliding with The Flaming Lips’ psychedelic theatrics, sprinkled with British eccentricity. Dirty Nice, led by the inventive duo Charlie Pelling and Mark Thompson, will pull you into their glitchy, funky, psychedelic indie universe—where every melody is a tilt-a-whirl, and every lyric hits like an emotional sucker punch.

Expect hits from their cult-favorite albums Surrenderland and Lobster, like "SHARK!" (BBC Radio 1 favourite) and "This Is Gonna Hurt" (Chris Hawkins' 6 Music morning staple), plus fresh tracks from Planet Weekend. From the surreal, yet relatable, narrative of "If I Was Abducted by Aliens" to the joyous refrains of "Another Life”, this show promises heart, humor, and hypnotic hooks.

Add Dirty Nice's surreal self-made animations and bizarre visuals, and you’ve got more than a concert—you’ve got an experience.

Once again channeling the rawness of the North East coast, Pit Pony return with their second album Dead Stars. Set to release on 7 February 2024 via Clue Records / EMI North, the album sees the band meld a myriad of influences from 50s doo-wop to heavy rock while frontwoman Jackie Purver navigates the complexities of modern life. A broader and more ambitious, but yet wholly cohesive follow up to their debut album World To Me, Dead Stars promises to reveal infinitely finer details with each listen.

Fiercely honest, Jackie’s lyricism portrays an intense duality and a vulnerability that is instantly relatable. Turning inwards to explore notions of motherhood, imposter syndrome and getting older, while simultaneously outwards through commentary on the cost of living, polluted water, the constant sell on social media and the ‘off menu’ Starbucks coffee obsession.

With the band citing the recent influences of Blue Weekend and Skinty Fia alongside the likes of Can and the soundtracks of Ennio Moriconne, mastering engineer Christian Wright (Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C., Pigs x7) proves the perfect fit with Chris McManus (Blank Studios) heading up recording & production. Sonically, Pit Pony remain loyal to their roots, noting the influence of regional titans Nadine Shah and The Futureheads and with the “ENGLISH ACCENT god damn it” reminder on PJ Harvey’s Uh Huh Her in mind, Jackie Purver stays true to her accent.

Dead Stars sees Pit Pony deliver an expanded but yet more balanced and personal conception of their craft. Garth Purver explains that the band were aiming for a more rounded and complete record “that showcased multiple sides to us but hung together as one piece of work rather than a collection of separate tracks.” While Andrew Jones mentions how the band “encouraged each other to pull on those strands and incorporate more of our personal taste in the sound”.
