A unique double-bill of London’s finest players running from day-night, and it’s still free entry! 

The Big Firkin Band (15:30 – 18:00)

It’s the Fox and Firkin’s very own bespoke Big Band! That is big, and it’s a band.

The Big Firkin Band is a collective of world class jazz musicians, based in Lewisham and South East London, who come together once a month to perform classic Big Band music made famous by the great bands of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Thad Jones, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman.

Expect to hear the greatest tunes from the golden age of jazz and swing performed by the best musicians in London, all in a relaxed and comfortable fashion at The Fox & Firkin on a Sunday afternoon.

Every 2nd Sunday of the month, 3.30 – 6pm. Food available. Family and dog friendly!

The Soul Bones Shout Band (18:30 – 21:30)

The Soul Bones are inspired by the trombone ‘shout bands’ that play in churches in the USA:  Massed groups of trombones, with sousaphone and drums, that play gospel music.  The sound is powerful and inspiring.  Because the bands largely perform in churches for religious occasions, and there have been limited recordings the music isn’t as widely known as the brass bands from the New Orleans tradition.  There are no bands like it performing in the UK, so we realised the only way to experience the sound was to form a band.
Graham Hughes has gathered together a group of a dozen or so leading trombone players from London to create his own version of a trombone shout band.  The music is perfect for dark winter nights when you need something to raise your spirits.  The Soul Bones are non-religious – we only wish to convert our listeners to the positivity and joy of massed trombones and great live music.  We guarantee you won’t hear anything else like it in London!
