Following a sold-out debut at The Spice of Life, Joe has performed at top venues including Hampstead Jazz Club, Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho and Ronnie Scott's. His sound blends the influence of jazz greats like John Coltrane, Joe Henderson and Joshua Redman with a fresh, distinctive voice of his own.

Tom Neill is an accomplished artist and producer based at Prime Studios in Windsor. A versatile pianist, he has performed at venues across the UK, from the Dundee Repertory Theatre to Portsmouth's New Theatre Royal, and has composed music for theatre and film, including the BAFTA-nominated documentary Mighty Penguins. His screen credits include featured musician roles on Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders, as well as the upcoming film Pressure, where he also worked as hand double and piano coach for the principal cast. A regular member of funk and soul five-piece Tunehead, Tom is delighted to join Jazz Vanguard for this special evening of music.

Jazz Vanguard are a fantastic group of top-notch jazz musicians who are making waves on the jazz scene. Led by drummer James Ballantine and the
bass maestro Dave Suttle, what makes Jazz Vanguard truly special is their
ability to curate a diverse program of music that spans all eras and subgenres
within the jazz world. They're not afraid to experiment and push the
boundaries, and their performances are always a treat for the ears.

So, if you're a jazz lover, Jazz Vanguard are not to be missed!
