SUMMARY:Elijah Jeffery & Eddie Gripper
DESCRIPTION:Black Mountain Jazz Club is delighted to welcome back two Cardiff-based musicians well known to BMJ audiences. \n\nVocalist–songwriter Elijah Jeffery and award-winning pianist Eddie Gripper join forces to present their acclaimed new CD (self-entitled\, ‘Elijah Jeffery & Eddie Gripper’ ) currently on a UK wide tour\, with a striking blend of original songs and a bold reimagining of Purcell’s 17th-century aria\, praised for its imaginative\, genre-defying approach. \n\nTheir live performance weaves together progressive pop\, indie folk\, and alternative jazz\, taking audiences on a captivating musical journey. From the folk-inspired ‘Shifting Seasons’ to the introspective jazz ballad ‘Because of You’\, the art-pop energy of ‘Close Your Eyes’ and a fresh take on ‘Dido’s Lament’\, Elijah and Eddie showcase their flair for storytelling and innovative composition. \nWith a shared passion for pushing musical boundaries\, their performance promises an intimate yet adventurous experience that resonates across genres\, making this a must-see evening for lovers of inventive\, genre-defying music. \n\nHampshire-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Elijah Jeffery brings influences ranging from the Great American Songbook to contemporary folk\, whilst English pianist Eddie Gripper – hailed for his melodic charm and already compared with the greats – adds a distinctive blend of jazz\, folk and modern classical colour. \n\n“These are songs that convince both musically and lyrically\, there is real musical and emotional intelligence at work here” – Ian Mann\, TheJazzMann \n\n“Both halves of the duo excel on this recording\, both in their quality and restraint\, but it is their joint passion for song writing that shines brightest.” – Neil Duggan\, All About Jazz

SUMMARY:BMJ Collective with guest John Crawford
DESCRIPTION:BMJ Collective welcome pianist John Crawford back to Black Mountain Jazz Club for an exciting\nevening of contemporary jazz. John has previously performed at the Club alongside the extraordinary\ncellist Shirley Smart\, and we’re thrilled to have him return as a featured guest.\nJohn Crawford blends jazz sophistication with the fire of Latin rhythm. With English and Spanish\nroots\, he was raised on blues and immersed in salsa\, flamenco\, and Afro-Cuban traditions – a fusion\nthat defines his sound. \nHe has performed at world-renowned festivals like Montreal\, North Sea and San Sebastián\,. He is no\nstranger to iconic venues – including Ronnie Scott’s\, the Royal Albert Hall\, and the 606 Club.\nAn Independent Music Award nominee\, John’s albums Ulia River of Time\, Times and Tides and his\nlatest Room for Dancing have earned critical praise for their vibrant energy and heartfelt lyricism.\nA passionate educator and rhythm fanatic\, John’s books on Latin piano (published by Schott and\nOUP) have become go-to resources worldwide. Whether on stage or in the studio\, his music is always\nalive with groove\, emotion\, and an infectious love of dance. \nRenowned for their dynamic interplay and adventurous improvisation\, the BMJ Collective blend\nstrong grooves with expressive modern arrangements. Together with John Crawford\, the group\npromises a vibrant\, engaging performance\, delivered in the club’s intimate\, up-close setting at The\nMelville Centre in Abergavenny. \nWebsite\nwww.johncrawfordpiano.com

SUMMARY:Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Join Savoy Youth Theatre as they showcase their latest National Theatre Connections performance\, Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth\, written by Kirsty Housley.\n \n\nWhen an alarm is deliberately set off during their GCSE drama exam\, a group of students find themselves in detention. As they struggle to navigate the seemingly endless tasks they’ve been set as punishment\, questions are raised. Who set off the alarm and why? Will they ever get out of this detention? Will it cost them their GCSE? And why is Shakespeare still so popular?  \nSo begins a meta deconstruction of the play as we move from classroom to theatre\, artifice to reality. The performers switch between their characters and their real selves as they interrogate Shakespeare\, the canon\, the education system\, the nature of theatre\, and the world itself. They begin to wonder whether the classics really are that classic\, or whether we might need to tell a different story altogether…. \nContent guidance:   \no Themes exploring the climate emergency \no Themes exploring the cost of living crisis \no Depictions of anxiety \no References to colonialism

SUMMARY:The Travelling Riverside Blues Show
DESCRIPTION:Join two fine blues musicians and enjoy an evening listening to the sounds and tales of the Mississippi. The simple sound of acoustic guitar and vocal brings the Delta to life\, celebrating the power and energy of the bluesmen who created the musical legend. \nThis early raw style – just traditional guitar and vocal – formed the foundation of modern blues music. This show weaves a story of hopes and dreams\, hardship and poverty through soulful and passionate music\, along with tales bringing those times and people to life. \nSit back and enjoy The Travelling Riverside Blues Show on a journey through the Delta. \n  \nRemi Harris is a Jazz & Blues guitarist from the UK whose playing draws inspiration from artists such as Django Reinhardt\, Peter Green\, Wes Montgomery\, Robert Johnson.\nFrom the age of seven he has dedicated himself to a life of guitar playing which has taken him from busking on the streets of his local towns to performing at many prestigious venues and events around the world\, including Buckingham Palace\, Montreal Jazz Festival\, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum\, as well as appearing on national radio and television. \n“Remi Harris is one of the great guitarists we have in this country\, an absolutely extraordinary musician” Jamie Cullum\, BBC Radio 2 \n“a brilliant guitar player”  Cerys Matthews\, BBC Radio 2 & BBC 6 Music \n“Brilliant!!!! Your playing is spectacular.” Peter Frampton \n  \nRoger Keenan is a seasoned vocalist who has his roots firmly anchored in the blues. This is the blues of not just the Delta\, Chicago\, and elsewhere in the USA but also the blues of Ealing\, Dartford and wherever else formed the British Blues Boom of the 60’s and beyond. From playing in the vibrant music scene of the late 1960s to performing in Shrewsbury Abbey or Weston Park Hall\, Roger has always stayed true to his roots – the Blues. \n“Charismatic vocalist Roger Keenan commanded the stage throughout\, his voice rich and soulful\, guiding the crowd through classics like ‘The Thrill has Gone’”\nThe Edge Arts Centre \n“Roger led the way… seamlessly weaving narratives with soulful performances.
