Jazz Bar Swindon – Live Jazz Events at The Royal Oak

This year we have decided to have a Jazz & Funk session right in-between the holidays! Not just a killer band, but a time for all of the club followers to celebrate the holiday season together before we see in 2026!

Jazz Club returns Tuesday 13th Jan 2026

The return of one of the most acclaimed Tenor Saxophone players on the professional Jazz scene who is 2026 is celebrating 30 years in the biz! He is joined by a swinging trio featuring powerhouse jazz pianist and composer Tom Berge, Pasquale Votino (Double Bass) and Scott Hammond (Drums) 

The Vibraphone master is back showcasing a shimmering performance full of Bebop and Hardbop, its always as mesmerising as it is heavy swingin’. Always a special night with one of the most magical instruments of the Jazz genre. Feat. Tom Berge (Piano), Pasquale Votino (Double Bass) and Paolo Adamo (Drums) 

QOW TRIO are a multi-generational band featuring young firebrand saxophonist Riley Stone-Lonergan, British Jazz legend Spike Wells (Tubby Hayes, Bobby Wellins) on drums, and multi-genre bassist and bandleader Eddie Myer. The trio initially got together through their mutual love of Sonny Rollins’ classic piano-less trios of the 1950s but soon found themselves expanding their repertoire to explore the rich and varied territory laid out by the great tradition of big-toned tenor players over the generations, from Lester Young to Dewey Redman to Seamus Blake and Walter Smith III 

Multi-instrumentalist Ruth Hammond has been returning to her Jazz vocal work for 2025 and for this session she leads her vocally led soulful Trio showcasing Jazz classics from artists such as Brazilian legend Joyce Morena, Nina Simone and Carla Bley.

Highly acclaimed Jazz singer and club favourite Fleur Stevenson returns to the club for a session of Jazz & Swing standards. Joined by the swingin’ and exuberant Maff Potts Trio.

Musician, Composer and Filmmaker Kevin Figes returns with a swinging group from the West country. Alto Saxophone and flute led Bebop, Swing and Latin. Also featuring Matt Hopkins (Guitar), Riaan Vosloo (Double Bass), & Ryan Thrupp (Drums).

Wiltshire born but London based drummer Callum Smith is bringing his new project to the club! A Saxophone led hard swingin’ session featuring acclaimed bass player and Birmingham Conservatoire alum Stuart Barker.
