We’re super excited to welcome Bow Django, Bow’s finest swing jazz proponents to the library next Friday (28 July) for an evening of latin-infused toe-tapping rhythms.

Bow Django comprises guitarists Ienne and Chris, bassist Casper, clarinettist Jenny, violinist Peter, and vocalist Annie.

The band was formed when a group of friends got together to play gypsy jazz in an African cafe in Bow in about 2018. However, it really got going in the ‘tween and post-Lockdown periods when the group met in Victoria Park each Friday for a couple of hours to play for themselves and a dedicated group of distanced audience.

The natural choice for parks, street parties, cafe culture and libraries, their music – uptempo and infectiously optimistic – can’t fail to get your feet tapping.

Last Fridays will be taking a break in August but will resume again in September. Watch out for details of our new programme shortly.

Tickets on sale now – here. And as ever, pizzas available!
