JUMP 66 - Friday 21st March 2025
Jump 66 explode onto stage with a feel-good mix of retro Rhythm & Blues, classic Soul, jumping Swing and infectious Ska. A lively 6-piece with thumping double bass, honking sax and swirling keys, they have honed their performances over almost 15 years playing London's hottest venues from Ain't Nothing But..., Gaz's Rockin' Blues and Ram Jam Records, to the Rivoli Ballroom, Chelsea Arts Club and Hampton Hub Club. But festival stages are where they really come to life, from topping the bill at their local Ealing Blues Festival, all the way to the iconic Glastonbury Festival, and the Isle of Wight.
Fronted by ex-Flying Picket Paul Kissaun, alongside jazz-drumming legend Gaz Richardson (Stargazers), Pete Saunders on keys (Dexy's Midnight Runners & The Jive Aces), Andy Burns (tenor sax), and founder members Rhod Davies (guitar) and Paul King (bass), the band are tighter and more irresistible than ever.

Back by popular demand: FREDDIE HALL (USA) & CLAUDIO CITARELLA (Italy)
Freddie Hall, who is returning to Art’s Music Lounge for his fourth visit, grew up singing on the street corners of Canastota in the USA. It was in Canastota at the age of eleven that he met the renowned jazz vocalist, Nat King Cole, who he cites as a major influence on his singing style alongside Ray Charles and the Temptations with whom he sang in Orlando, Florida.
Freddie has been singing professionally for over 40 years and has achieved massive success in his home country and internationally with his unique interpretations of the American songbook. Singing Soul, Motown with a little jazz and blues, Freddie has recently been performing a series of ‘Tributes to Ray Charles’ including one in Cannes on 15th March.
Joining Freddie once again will be Italian born bass player, producer and composer, Claudio Citarella.
Advance tickets for Freddie & Claudio at £10 with no commission payable are available NOW from John at BOOKINGS
