Friday Night Jazz: The Jazz Defenders
2024-04-05 19:30 - 23:30
The Red Hot Jazz Club presents
The Jazz Defenders

*N.B. Online ticket sales will stop on Thursday evening. A limited number of entry only tickets will be available on the door from 7.30pm on Friday.*

Led by one of the UK’s most formidable jazz pianists, George Cooper, The Jazz Defenders are a group born from a deep love of Blue Note jazz, drawing on a wealth of inspiration to craft their own raw and vibrant compositions. Having played several shows at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club as well as many other prestigious venues in the UK, they continue to electrify audiences with their energy and virtuosity.
As The Jazz Defenders carry on distinctly ‘defending’ the legacy of some of the classic hard bop greats such as Horace Silver, Lee Morgan and Art Blakey, they begin to evolve their modern soul jazz slant to combine solid grooves and catchy horn lines with a collaborative and comprehensive sound, fusing soul, jazz, hip hop, soundtrack and groove into a masterful union that leaves audiences mesmerised. The result is an enthrallingly unique sound that is as danceable as it is listenable.
The group’s brainchild, pianist and composer George Cooper, has lent his ample skill to a range of artists as varied as Hans Zimmer, Nigel Kennedy, U2, Omar, Slum Village, MF Doom, The Brand New Heavies, Lisa Stansfield, Wet Wet Wet, The Haggis Horns, Abstract Orchestra and Lack of Afro.

“Absolutely storming!” – Jamie Cullum
“Wonderfully put together” – Craig Charles
“Gutsy, fantastic music” – Dennis Rollins MBE

Immortal Onion x Michal Jan

The Red Hot Jazz Club presents
Immortal Onion x Michal Jan

N.B. Advance ticket sales have now stopped. Entry tickets will be available to purchase on the door from 7.30pm tonight.

Jazz Prog Polish Trio, with Saxophonist Michał Jan Ciesielski
Immortal Onion are an instrumental band from Gdańsk, Poland. The group consists of Wojtek Warmijak (drums), Tomir Śpiołek (piano, synths) and Ziemowit Klimek (double bass, synths). This tour will also see them performing with saxophonist Michał Jan Ciesielski.
Immortal Onion have already built a strong position as one of the most interesting, new jazz projects from Poland. After two well received albums (“Ocelot of Salvation” in 2017 and “XD [Experience Design]” in 2020, U Know Me Records), they had the pleasure of presenting the new release called “Screens” recorded at the initiative of the saxophonist Michał Jan Ciesielski.
The trio performed its original material at many venues and festivals in 16 countries around Europe.
The inspiration for the band formation were, to name just a few, Esbjörn Svensson, Hiromi Uehara and Tigran Hamasyan, In terms of genre, Immortal Onion offers a bold combination of many seemingly remote styles – jazz, film music, minimalism as well as fusion, electronic music and even progressive metal.
The unique sound of the group originates from the stylistic variety, and skilful combination of rhythmically complex, energetic riffs with minimalistic, trans beats and lyrical theme.

+ Enjoyable Listens

The Bluetones frontman Mark Morriss and his partner in crime Adam Devlin are taking their ‘Bluetones Acoustic’ show back out on the road in spring ’24 and will be making a ‘Slight Return’ to the Red Brick Building.
The band, formed in 1993, had an impressive run of hit singles throughout the late 90’s/early 00’s, including ’Bluetonic’, ‘Slight Return’, ‘Marblehead Johnson’, ‘Solomon Bites The Worm’, ‘If’ and ‘Keep the Fires Burning’. They scored thirteen Top 40 singles and three Top 10 albums in the UK charts before a hiatus in 2010. Returning in 2015 with a run of sell out shows, the band continue to tour to packed houses up and down the UK. This is a unique chance to hear the classics stripped back with shows at more intimate venues the band don’t usually play.
Special guest support comes from Enjoyable Listens.

'FleeceFest' Free Mini Festival
2024-09-14 11:00 - 16:00
‘FleeceFest’ Free Mini Festival

Come join us for an afternoon of live music, craft, art, food and drink and find out something new about the history of Glastonbury.

A brand new, free mini festival aimed at young people is coming to the Red Brick Building in September! It promises a day full of creativity, live music and local food. And, what’s more, the whole event has been organised by a fantastic team of young people.
The festival is part of a national project called New Wave, which encourages young people to get involved in heritage-related activities. It coincides with the national Heritage Open Days festival organised each year, which celebrates the rich history and heritage of communities across the UK.
FleeceFest is a one-day mini festival with live music, craft, food, and mural painting. It’s completely free to attend and, while it’s aimed at young people, all ages are welcome and there will be plenty for everyone to do.
One of the highlights will be painting a mural that celebrates and encapsulates the history of the Red Brick Building’s industrial past as a former sheepskin factory. The mural was sketched out in July by a group of young people, helped by local artist Jon Minshull. The design uses images from Morlands Magazines as well as quotes from some of the stories of people who worked in the factories, to tell the story of change at the Red Brick Building site. You’ll see the iconic Morlands gates, sheep, shoes, chimneys and lots of people working busily. The mural will be painted in full colour during FleeceFest, so do come along and join in if you like to get creative!
You’ll notice that there’s something sheepy about this event too, with the chance to get creative with sheepskin crafts led by local textile expert Liana. Plus, enjoy live music from local musicians, including the premiere of new songs inspired by the stories of workers from the historic Morlands and Baily’s factories.
The name FleeceFest is a nod to the Red Brick Building’s past as part of the Morlands sheepskin factory, a key player in Glastonbury’s economic and social history during the 20th century. The event will honour this heritage, particularly the craftsmanship and memories of those who worked in the sheepskin industry.
This will be a relaxed afternoon for anyone who is inquisitive, creative or who would just like to discover a new place in the community. Our fantastic team of young people have been working hard to create and organise this mini festival, and we can’t wait to see it in action. Pop along, bring a mate, and enjoy a creative day for all the family!

This event is being held in our Community Garden. All are welcome.

A national treasure, celebrating his 5,000th gig!

Rock veteran John Otway is an English singer-songwriter who has built a sizeable cult audience through extensive touring, a surreal sense of humour and a self-deprecating underdog persona.
Otway dubbed himself “rock’n’roll’s greatest failure” after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic ‘(Cor Baby, That’s) Really Free’ with Wild Willy Barrett.
However, a mere quarter century later, he was back on Top of The Pops with the wonderful disco pastiche, ‘Bunsen Burner’ and back in the charts as a birthday present from his adoring and patient fans.
Expect madcap mayhem and some scintillating stunts from a man old enough to know better … and also to be surprised at just what a showman and musician really lies underneath the tomfoolery.

“A brilliant ability to inspire” – THE GUARDIAN
“Brilliant observationally … part of me just wants to stand up and applaud” – STEVE LAMACQ
“The audience were in fits of hysteria” – SALISBURY JOURNAL

The Young Man with the Old Soul
A night of timeless jazz classics, swing and soul

The Red Hot Jazz Club are thrilled to have the wonderful Marvin Muoneké back to sing for us with his fantastic band.
Marvin Muoneké is a gifted jazz singer-songwriter, arranger and performing/recording artist based in the South West of England. His bass-baritone voice has often been referred to as rich, deep and smooth. Bringing the songs and sounds of mid-20th century jazz to modern listeners of all ages, Marvin possesses a rare and beautiful presence that can light up any audience of any venue within seconds.
Marvin’s charismatic style and wonderful vocals won us over completely the last time he was here, and his ability to bounce seamlessly from song to song, from funk to soul and ballad to swing is something to behold. Joined by his wonderful band, this is going to be a very classy night of entertainment.

“His voice has a rich depth with a smoothness that is next to none.” – Claudia Mendes, The Other Side Reviews

While our Event Space is being revamped, Marvin will be performing live within The Old Tannery restaurant. As always, there’s the option of adding a delicious jazz supper alongside your entry tickets.

Enrico Merlin x BEJE
2024-10-25 20:00 - 22:30
Big Bromo Promotions presents:
BEJE / British European Jazz Ensemble
Enrico Merlin x BEJE

Progressive and thrilling ‘soundscape’ jazz: music without boundaries
Part of the ‘Siblings Not Fools’ Tour 2024

BEJE’s distinctive and energetic contemporary jazz performances are always about collaboration, whether with other players or other cultures. A unique world music-tinged jazz ensemble, its line-up of different sensibilities and skills from all over the continent, its widespread influences, and its union of eclectic styles manifests in powerful creations of improvisation and composition alike. It acknowledges no boundaries, is relentless in its exploration of innovative ingredients for sonic fusion, and embraces humanity by mirroring diversity in its music.
This Autumn, BEJE tours ‘Siblings Not Fools’, a celebration of the creative energy and unity possible when cultures meet through the medium of music, and a testament to Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1964 declaration: ‘live together as brothers or perish together as fools’. This series of collective collaborations with international artists from Korea, Palestine, Italy, and Wales, is presented (and recorded live for an anthology album to be released in the new year) primarily at grassroots and non-traditional venues, and is supported by skills/experience development workshops.
“A vibrant contemporary Jazz augment for international cultural exchange.” – Venue Magazine
“Musically gifted… Creative and technically excellent musicians.” – Black Mountain Jazz

From Milano, Italy, guitarist-composer Enrico Merlin is a powerhouse improviser of boundless invention, and an acclaimed Miles Davis authority. He plays rich, complex and restlessly curious contemporary jazz, here underpinned by the superb musicianship of global-jazz collective BEJE. A leading voice in Italy’s jazz and improv scene, Enrico’s signature guitar sound, astonishing technique, distinctive composing vision, and freely spontaneous playing, are justly acclaimed. Journey into the great musical unknown; this is exploratory music of rare and intense beauty, infused with wonder.
World-class guitar-jazz at its most dynamic, playful, impressionist, and innovative; evocative and electrifying sonic worlds fizzing with surprises, and turning from delicate cinematic dreamscapes to fierce maelstroms of music. Every performance is unique and unrepeatable.

With DJ Ni-Ku from Bristol Artists for Palestine
Funds raised from this event will be donated to the Medecins Sans Frontieres Gaza and Lebanon Appeal
A night of music celebrating the Palestinian spirit of resistance. Bring your dance shoes and get ready to move!

Mendip Friends of Palestine presents an evening of dance from Dabke to DJ!
We will begin with a participatory dance session of Dabke, the traditional Palestinian Dance led by a highly talented Palestinian Dance Duo. Then DJ Ni-ku will treat us to a truly memorable set of modern Palestinian dance music emanating from the occupied Palestinian territories and from the Palestinian diaspora. The musical influences from the wider Middle East and the world beyond, fused with the Palestinian music of resistance, creates a unique and exciting sound tinged with the sadness, love and longing of a dispossessed people.
Nik Rawlings is a composer and sound artist originally from Glastonbury who has DJ’d in Egypt, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and the UK. As a member of the Bristol Artists for Palestine group, Nik campaigned successfully for artistic freedom of expression on Palestine and in support of the Bristol Palestine Film Festival, following its cancellation by Bristol’s Arnolfini. A founding member of the Red Brick Building, this will be Nik’s first appearance back at RBB, playing Dabke, Habibi funk and more!

An intimate evening of beautiful, authentic Cuban tunes and rhythms

The wonderful Milly Riquelme is back town on 22nd November to play a very special and intimate show at Glastonbury’s top Jazz Club, The Red Hot Jazz Club, and this time she is very generously donating all proceeds to the Red Brick Building’s pillars project.
The Red Brick Building’s Event Space has recently had extensive renovations to repair the crumbling pillars that were supporting its structure. These repairs were vital in order for us to be able to continue offering events, community spaces and services for the community. Now that the repairs have finished, we would love you to come and see our amazing new space and enjoy Milly’s live authentic Cuban music with us.
Milly has been a musical director and pianist with Cuban Salsa and Latin bands in Havana since 2006. She has collaborated with other well-known Cuban Musicians, like Nicolas Sirgado and Mayito Ribera, pillars of the popular Cuban and Latin jazz in Cuba
She is a passionate musician and has performed extensively as a solo pianist/singer, and with her band La Cubana in the UK and internationally.

Performing will be:
Milly Riquelme – Vocals/Keys
Richard Llewelyn – Guitar
Ben Modley – Congas/Percussion

If you love live Latin and Cuban music, you won’t want to miss this intimate evening of beautiful live music.
As always, the restaurant will be serving up a Jazz Supper, which can be ordered online in advance alongside the event tickets. Tables will be prioritised for customers that pre-order food.
See you there!

Faris Ishaq x BEJE

A solidarity concert for Palestine
A masterful meld of Palestinian folk music and spine-tingling jazz

Mesmerising contemporary and ‘cosmic’ jazz, channelling the ecstatic spirit of 1960’s saxophone visionary John Coltrane, and here deeply infused with Palestinian melodies and rhythms. Acclaimed nay reed-flute master Faris Ishaq is given punchy, characterful support by global-jazz ensemble BEJE on spine-tingling music ranging from meditative atmospherics to primal improvisation: by turns profoundly beautiful, frantically urgent, joyfully strange, and yieldingly delicate.

BEJE’s distinctive and energetic contemporary jazz performances are always about collaboration, whether with other players or other cultures. A unique world music-tinged jazz ensemble, its line-up of different sensibilities and skills from all over the continent, its widespread influences, and its union of eclectic styles manifests in powerful creations of improvisation and composition alike. It acknowledges no boundaries, is relentless in its exploration of innovative ingredients for sonic fusion, and embraces humanity by mirroring diversity in its music.
This Autumn, BEJE tours ‘Siblings Not Fools’, a celebration of the creative energy and unity possible when cultures meet through the medium of music, and a testament to Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1964 declaration: ‘live together as brothers or perish together as fools’. This series of collective collaborations with international artists from Korea, Palestine, Italy, and Wales, is presented (and recorded live for an anthology album to be released in the new year) primarily at grassroots and non-traditional venues, and is supported by skills/experience development workshops.
