Sunday Lunch 18 October 1:30pm: Earl Okin - Rachel Sutton - 606 Club 50th Anniversary Celebration
Owned and managed by musician Steve Rubie since 1976, the 606 Club was founded to present the best UK-based jazz, soul, blues, R&B, Latin, singer/songwriter and groove artists! Originally located just a few minutes from King's Road, the Club was described as “London’s best music venue” by Jamie Cullum – who played some of his first London shows here. Join us as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary with an All-Star series of performances from Monday the 12th to Sunday the 25th of October!
Our programme has been curated by Steve to reflect not just his personal connection with each of the musicians, but also to showcase the unique relationships between them, as described in this introduction written by Steve himself:
"I first met Earl Okin at the old Club back in the 1970’s, several years before I actually took it over. With his hat and spats, always dapper and immaculately turned out, he was one of the first musicians I ever heard playing in that tiny, dingy, basement in the Kings Road. Still performing today at the highest level he is one of the last links to those early days and no 606 Club Festival could possibly be complete without him. Also on this afternoon’s bill is the wonderful singer and very good friend Rachel Sutton. Back in the day Sunday afternoons were a time for recovery! However, as the Club matured and expanded its horizons here at Lots Road more and more people asked if they could bring their young children. Sunday afternoon seemed the perfect time for that and the Sunday afternoon sessions were born. And one of the very first performers to appear here on a Sunday afternoon was Rachel, who has helped us turn an occasional gig in to a regular event in the Club’s programme."
For six decades, entertainer Earl Okin has delighted audiences worldwide with his unique blend of quirky comedy and first-rate jazz musicianship. His career includes touring with Paul McCartney & Wings and performing 500 times at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Trained at The Welsh College of Music and Drama, acclaimed singer Rachel Sutton captivates audiences with her rich tone and dynamic mix of American Songbook classics and original compositions. Her highly-anticipated second album, ‘Realms’, released earlier this year, was described by Jazz Views as 'utterly and completely engaging'.
