every thursday

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!

Though belgian londoner guitarist/singer/producer Drew Wynen is mainly known as a sideman & collaborator (Crystal Fighters, Ellie Goulding, Incognito & more), he’s been releasing music under his own name since lockdown, which can be described as a blend of soul, pop, beats and his rock&indie roots. Aside working on the follow-up to 2024’s beat tape ‘Marooned’, he brings his eclectic mix of influences (from Q-Tip to Qotsa) to the stage alongside an improvisational flair with the precious help of bassist Dan Gulino (Jamie Woon, Jessie Ware) & drummer Jerome Johnson (MRCY, Elmiene) - the Drew Wynen Trio is an ongoing experiment to witness!

On her new album, Carnival, folk/pop singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd showcases her signature “evocative storytelling and raw honesty” and “powerfully emotive performance from start to finish,” honed over more than two decades as a writer and artist. She has released four studio albums, garnering placements on television shows on MTV and VH1 and airplay on more than 175 radio stations across the US. Raised in rural New York, Juliet was a classically trained pianist and jazz trumpet player from an early age before studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music. It wasn’t long before she was a fixture in the Boston singer-songwriter scene, releasing two critically acclaimed albums, touring across the country, and garnering placements on MTV and VH1. Struggling with burnout, Juliet walked away from music completely in 2009 and got a lucrative corporate job. Fast forward ten years, and in the midst of a global pandemic, she returned to songwriting and performing. After winning a string of national songwriting awards and releasing her 2022 EP High Road—hailed as a “top-tier singer/songwriter album”—Juliet returned full force. Since then, she has performed 150+ shows a year, both solo and with her band, at clubs and listening rooms across the US.

Christian Alexander is a singer songwriter from Preston UK. His most recent release is a beautiful plea for connection, ‘I Want To’ which came out at the end of May.

Written and recorded during a period of upheaval in Christian’s life – which included a move back from London to Preston and a time of general anxiety – ‘I Want To’ is the second new piece of music to be revealed from an upcoming longer project which marks his return to the lo-fi recording set up on which he recorded his first self-releases, ‘Summer 17’, ‘Summer 19’, and ‘Growing Up’.

 Those lo-fi releases, released in 2019, earned him attention and praise from such high end producers and artists as Frank Dukes, Kevin Abstract, Mura Masa and Romil Hemnani, led to him recording an album in Malibu for Abstract and Hemnani’s boutique label Video Store during the pandemic, and more recently a follow up for UK label AMF. But rejecting that direction on his new work, Christian has more recently returned to the more stripped back, diy feel of his early releases, but with much greater experience and self-awareness underpinning his new songs.

On the live front, Christian’s touring plans were badly interrupted by COVID, with a major European tour alongside Brockhampton cancelled in 2020 and 2021. But, still only 27, he enters this new era and direction with his music eager to develop the live side of things as well, with more dates, alongside an album, to be announced soon.

Leti is a London-based singer-songwriter crafting alternative pop songs woven with jazzy harmonies, rich backing vocals, and introspective, poetic lyrics. Inspired by non-dual spiritual traditions, her work explores themes of self-enquiry, presence in the everyday, and social awareness.

Her music has been featured on Swiss national radio and TV, and has found its way onto chill evening playlists—perfect for winding down, reflecting, and sinking into stillness.

Leti performs live mainly with her keys, but she also plays harmonium, shruti box, offering a soulful, stripped-back set that connects deeply with the audience. She loves sharing the stories behind her songs, inviting listeners into the emotional and philosophical heart of her writing. She also loves bringing element of improvisations into every performance because she believes that every concert is a unique space in which audience and artist meet and can co-create through presence, listening and an open heart.

Her journey as an artist includes navigating early challenges in the music industry, taking time away to heal, and returning with a renewed sound and creative confidence. A passionate advocate for self expression, authenticity, well-being, and age diversity in music, Leti champions artists over 30 and a more sustainable creative life.

Alongside her solo work, Leti leads voice and songwriting circles—including at Glastonbury Festival—creating inclusive spaces for expression and connection.

She holds a Distinction in Songwriting from ICMP London, where she is now completing a second MA in Creative Music Production.
