Piano versus drums: How do they vary? What do they have in common? Like brother and sister, do they play nicely, or do they argue a lot?
About this Event

Programme

Join us for a session of colourful music featuring favourite tunes from the American songbook, with a spring theme as well as a mixed menu of cracking international flavours from Brazil, Cuba and other exotic locations with summer in mind.

Artist Bio

Sophie Alloway met Joe Thompson 15 years ago playing in a jazz trio at London’s prestigious Ivy Club. Between them, they have played most musical styles to most age-groups (from hip-hop to “hip op”) all over the world, working mostly in London.

Their trio has played for King Charles III at Buckingham Palace and they recently performed as a duo at St James’s Palace. Their St James’s session will be a little less sedate, and both are looking forward to drawing on the wealth of their musical experiences from Royal to Reggae.


St James’s is expanding its Saturday Live programme to offer a new Relaxed Saturday Live series of free live concerts. The programme will showcase music genres such as jazz and world music, among others. These concerts are designed to be even more accessible to all. Don’t worry if your kids are prone to sing along and no need to think you need to sit bolt upright throughout when trying out this new live music experience — you’re free to wander in and out as the mood takes you.

Free admission | Donations welcome

Whether £5 or any amount you’re able to give. Donations can be made in cash in the basket on your way out, or by tap donation at the machines at our exits. Your generosity helps support our cultural events and charitable services. Thank you.
