with
Zoe Francis (vocals)
Jim Mullen (guitar)
Liam Dunachie (organ)
Steve Brown (drums)

Zoe Francis and legendary guitarist Jim Mullen began performing together in 2013 and to date have recorded and toured four albums around the UK and in Europe. Their first album "The Very Thought Of You” was recorded live in 2014 at London’s 606 club with a stellar line-up, and their most recent release "Somewhere in The Night" (2023) received great reviews.

It was during her stay in New York, attending the workshops of great teachers (such as Barry Harris) and having the opportunity to perform with great US musicians around Manhatten and Harlem that Zoe enriched her love of a great lyric and melody. She loves to champion the classics, but also brings to light less well-trodden songs in fresh arrangements.

Multi award-winning guitarist Jim Mullen is no stranger to the UK and international jazz scenes, and in a career spanning more than five decades has recorded and toured the globe with artists such as Gene Harris, Georgie Fame, Terry Callier, Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison, The Average White Band, Brian Auger, Kokomo and Claire Martin, in addition to his 15 year partnership with saxophonist Dick Morrissey in the much-loved Morrissey-Mullen band.

Joining Zoe and Jim tonight will be the in-demand and prolific Steve Brown (drums) and Liam Dunachie (organ).

Doors 6pm / music from 7.30-10pm
