EDDIE PILLER is known to many as the founder of Acid Jazz records and top mod memoirist, and has been DJing since the early 80s. But he doesn't always get to play a full rare soul set, well he will tonight.First making an impact after recording the young James Taylor Quartet as they became the main draw in the burgeoning London jazz scene, Piller teamed up with DJ Gilles Peterson to establish the Acid Jazz Records label to push the scene into a fresh direction to become one of the most influential youth movements of the 90s.
Success was immediate but Peterson left in 1989 to establish Talking Loud and Eddie Piller concentrated on a new generation of signings like Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, Corduroy, Mother Earth, A Man Called Adam, Terry Callier and Gregory Isaacs.
As of 2026, Piller has compiled more than 100 LP's including the chart-topping On The Corner series with Martin Freeman, as well as the Totally Wired collections, which have sold over a million copies.
Support on the night comes from Lee McCann & Annie Neale so you will want to be down early for this one.
