Improv Lounge Jam Sessions – live from the basement, every Thursday!

Come along with your instrument (or just yourself) and get stuck into a relaxed night of jamming. Whether you're here to play or just enjoy the tunes, everyone's welcome.

To keep these sessions free to attend, we just ask that you support the night by grabbing a drink or a bite while you're here – every purchase at the bar helps us keep the jams going.

No need to drink alcohol if that's not your thing – we've got loads of soft drinks and some cracking empanadas too.

See you down there!

August Cooke is the solo project of London-based cellist George Cooke. His debut ep Like Rivers - featuring Mumbai saxophonist Shirish Malhotra and produced in Oxford by Felix Higginbottom - was played across BBC including by Gilles Peterson, who called him a ‘ great new talent ‘.

In the live set, the voice disappears within an imaginary sea, mirrored in waves of cello harmony, where questions are lost and reappear.

August will be joined in support of Phoebe Massey:

Phoebe Massey is an independent electronic experimental producer and performer who layers and collages sounds into otherworldly, emotionally charged landscapes. Singing since a young age, she harmonises and distorts her voice live, combining it with sounds from her synthesiser, drum machine and sampler to create her unique sound. Drawing upon her background in textile design, she treats sound like material—stitching memories and observations into a unique and original tapestry of sounds

An Evening of Art, Science & Soul

Join us for an extraordinary journey from understanding to liberation. This unique three-part experience explores how we can transform our inner struggles into sources of strength and connection.

Part I: Speaking with Your Demons

Discover how our minds symbolise our bodies and learn to recognise, communicate with, and ultimately befriend the inner demons that shape our experience. Through insights from psychology and embodied awareness, we’ll explore new ways to care for these complex parts of ourselves in the initial lecture by Josh Fein-Brown

Part II: Music as Medicine

Viviana Caro, A scientist/sound artist reveals how sound becomes a bridge to our deepest selves. Learn how music rewires our brains, syncs with our heart rhythms, and creates profound physiological shifts that connect us to ourselves and each other.

Part III: Bringing Music

Speakman Sound brings cerebral, electronic beats that invite you to bring music to everything you’ve learned. This is your moment to connect with the music, breathe, and release with the parts of yourself you’ve been getting to know.

Come ready to think, feel, breathe, and transform. This event is a practice in becoming whole.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Arrive for 6:00pm, First Lecture starts at 7:00pm

The Lazy H live band is an electronic jazz trio from London who are exploring new ways of improvisation with electronic instruments.

Their setup features a heavy electronic rhythm section: drum machines, modular synthesisers and AI generative sequences with traditional jazz elements such as the saxophone and rhodes piano. This combination creates a robust electronic club sound with the looseness and freedom of an improvised jazz ensemble.

The trio have been likened to Floating Points live, Vels Trio and Dorian Concept, however, frequently described as ‘truly original’ (Identification of Music), ‘brilliant and completely unique’ (Next Door Records) and ‘refreshingly genreless’ (Voices Radio) depicting their unique perspective; moving the sound of jazz and improvisation into a whole new space of electronic music.
