Osibisa

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Table reservations from 6 pm | Live Music: 9 pm “Jimi Hendrix watched them rehearse, Stevie Wonder joined them on drums, and Fela Kuti partied with them in Lagos…” The Guardian Formed in London in 1969 by four African and three Caribbean musicians, Osibisa stand as the founding architects of Afro-rock. They were the first Black band to break The Marquee Club in 1971, earned two UK chart hits in 1976, and became one of the most influential African-heritage groups to emerge from Britain’s music scene. Their fusion of African rhythms, Caribbean grooves, funk, jazz, rock, Latin and highlife shaped the early language of what later became known as world music. Their catalogue continues to resonate across generations, with Sunshine Day, Welcome Home and Music for Gong Gong remaining staples on global stages. Osibisa’s legacy runs deep, cited by artists from Santana and Stevie Wonder to Al Green, Johnny Nash and Bob Marley. At Boisdale of Canary Wharf, the band bring their signature blend of driving percussion, soaring horns and richly textured arrangements - the sound that made them internationally recognised as the godfathers of Afro-rock.

The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective

Jazzlive@The Crypt · London

The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective is a quintet that blends modern jazz with Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk music. Having formed at the start of 2025, they have wowed audiences, selling out multiple venues across UK and beyond, including Palestine House and the Green Note, as well as recently headlining Zoot Fest in Pairs, and Zeman World Music Festival in Serbia. They are a fully international group comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians in a unique setting: • From Egypt, the rising-star vocalist Amena • Acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani • Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito (Giacomo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc); • Londoner and co-founder of the NLJC, Robbie Ellison on drums. The group explores the intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Eastern musical traditions from two perspectives: that of material from the jazz canon inspired by West Asia; and that of the group's own jazz-flavoured arrangements and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk tunes. ’Maydan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeting-place’. Originating in Farsi, the wor...

The Papa George band at the Crawdaddy Club

The Turks Head · Twickenham

Papa George is a name that's familiar to anyone who's at all aware of the blues scene in west London. He's not just a local artist though, he's toured the UK and beyond into Europe and even as far as the Caribbean where he's wowed festival crowds and performed and inspired thousands. He was even the highlight of the 2025 Summer Party, so this full band debut has been a long time coming! George is a truly charismatic performer, a master guitarist, one of the finest voices ever to sing the blues and you can expect a truly amazing night of music.

The Widows

The Fiddlers Elbow · London

The Widows - with a brand new album just about to appear it's an exciting time for prospective suiters everywhere...these Widows are hot! With ramalama and gnarly blues tinged post punk on show, this is some fiery and ferocious music that has a foot in Dead Kennedys like pure punk and two or possible three (?) feet in a kind of Fall/Cramps/Gun club garage-abilly tradition. Great musicians and a fantastic frontman in Mr Kim Le Tan. Superb. Colour Me Blood Red - not to be confused with the Gordon Herschell Lewis splatter core movie- but then again why not? Confuse them, conflate them, and enjoy the interface! This razor shop surf noir would be a fab accompaniment to any decent horror flick. Putting the Mental into Instrumental with gothic and post punk tropes that hint at the Banshees, Killing Joke, Joy Division et al- an enigmatic, wordless spaghetti cold wave triumph...stunning stuff. Escapist - post punk psychedelic duo sounding very groovy indeed atop their drum machine. With enigmatic covers and interesting original this is an escape route you should really get on.
