The Garibaldi Matinee APPEAL
A Message From Liane Carroll
The Garibaldi Matinee needs your help! We seems to have fallen on some rocky economic ground, with the Saturday & Sunday afternoon gigs struggling to balance the books. A combination of rising running costs and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis is making it increasingly challenging for us, and we are forced to seek additional funding in order to keep the matinee afloat.

Nigel Price returns to The Garibaldi Hotel for a special seasonal concert of great jazz, featuring a parade of guest musicians . Nigel is known for his clear, no nonsense, driving approach to jazz guitar and has steadily become one of the UK’s foremost exponents of the instrument. He spent three years with UK funk legends - the James Taylor Quartet, was voted No.1 in the 2016 British Jazz Awards for “best guitarist” and is also a regular performer at Ronnie Scott’s, where he’s played around 600 times.
His blend of flowing bebop lines and deep blues feeling has made him popular with jazz, blues and funk audiences across the World.
"Inventiveness, originality and ensemble playing are terrific."
The Observer
“For me, this is how jazz should be; communicative and inclusive. Jazz performed this way feels like a gift, a ‘here, this is for you’ scenario.”
