Former Tenor Saxophonist of the year at The British Jazz Awards ROBERT FOWLER is returning to The Royal Oak. A member of The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, The Bryan Ferry Orchestra, former member of the Humphrey Lyttelton Band and countless other accolades, but for us the most important reason for Robert Fowler returning to the club is because he is simply one of the best Sax players around!

Acclaimed vocalist Peter Jones has been in the studio this year recording his new album. He joins us from London for an evening of American Songbook Classics also featuring Cardiff based pianist and alumni of Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and his trio

A SOUSAPHONE is entering the club! Courtesy of Trombone player Gareth Roberts & Trumpeter Gethin Liddington, we welcome back the pocket brass band and are in for a heavy dose of funk, groove and blues!

Such is his immense talent at Jazz, composition and heavy swing, it is sometimes hard to believe that trumpeter Stuart Henderson was also principal trumpet of The Scots Guards Band in Her Majesty’s Household Division! Always one of our most popular bands!

Jasmine, sometimes known as ‘Jazzy’ is a young singer at the start of her career but who is already impressing audiences. We had multiple audience members tell us how much they enjoyed her set at Christ church when she supported Sir Tom Jones’ Voice finalists Billy & Louie, so we just had to snap her up! Jasmine is from Swindon and has a voice and musicality well beyond her years. We really hope our long standing audience will support this artist who no doubt will be on bigger and bigger stages.

We welcome back Hard-boppin saxophonist Glen Manby who last year released his latest album on the 33 Jazz Records label, “When Sunny Gets Blue” – available to stream on Spotify and You Tube!

Having graduated in music in his home country Italy, Double Bass player Pasquale has been a touring musician based in the West Country of the UK for over 10 years. He has backed some of our best guest soloists, and it’s about time he led his own band at the club!
