“Truly a unique new voice.” - JAZZ FM
“Ravishing.” - The Guardian
Pete is one of the UK’s finest jazz musicians. He has played for many years with The Kansas Smitty’s and as a bandleader in many of the UK’s top jazz spots.
A precise, controlled sound. Rooted deep in the tradition, with a contemporary freshness in both his trumpet playing and voice.

Acoustic Anarchy and We Shall Overcome charity special
Saturday 20th June sees an Acoustic Anarchy tie up with We Shall Overcome, which supports grassroots organisations against austerity, in this case raising money for the Lewisham Donation Hub.
The night will feature Maddy Carty, a soulful singer-songwriter with a unique sound.
Also on the bill are Steve White & The Protest Family, with top agit-folk tunes, described as "Punk minstrels who chronicle our times with humour, passion and immense talent."
Regular host Martin Howard will also be bringing his songs to the party.
Normally we suggest a donation of £5 with no one turned away, this one is a fundraiser for the very wonderful Lewisham Donation Hub so if you can donate a bit more that would be great. We should have someone from the Hub to say a few words about what they do during the night.

Live Music - Samuel Aaron (Chicago, USA) and Antony Hurley
Antony Hurley and Samuel Aaron met at the School of Song under the tutelage of producer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Ye Vagabonds, Billie Marten) in Winter 2023. Between the US and Mexico, the pair shared song ideas, brainstormed mixes and wrote ideas together for several weeks. Now, for the first time, they'll be bringing their individual and shared music to stages across the UK in summer 2026.
Samuel Aaron's debut album, Rambler, released in May 2025, traverses the landscapes of his making, through boisterous rock songs, theatrical chamber-pop.
"Pretty, sweet, and a little raw" --Anthony Fantano
"He's discovered his own way of capturing the world through his writing. It's as imperfect and immediate and cool as a snap of a camera" --The Great American Folk Show, NPR
Howl For More is the second album by Ramsgate-based songwriter Antony Hurley. Written across a year of travel between southern Italy, Mexico and the Kent coast, the album's core reflects the fragmentary nature of travel.
"A lovely, languid collection of travelling songs" Jude Rogers
"Quietly wonderful" Songlines Magazine
