Doors open 7pm, music from 8pm.

An intimate conversation and performance with acclaimed saxophonist Mark Lockheart, exploring the musical journey of one of the UK’s most inventive and influential jazz voices. In this short Q&A session, Mark will reflect on his early beginnings, the artists who shaped his sound, and the key achievements that have defined his wide‑ranging career — from Loose Tubes to Polar Bear, to his celebrated work as a composer and bandleader.

After a couple of questions from the audience, Mark will join Kaiyo for a dynamic set featuring a mix of originals and jazz standards, played in an interactive, conversational style that highlights spontaneity, listening, and musical dialogue. It’s an evening that blends storytelling with live improvisation, offering a rare glimpse into both the mind and the music of one of Britain’s most distinctive saxophonists.
