We welcome to The Spin another new ‘supergroup’ led by the brilliant keyboardist Roland Perrin!
Roland has had a prolific career ranging from latin to classical and world music. In this latter category, he has toured with renowned international stars, such as Juan de Marcos (Buena Vista Social Club), Dudu Pukwana (South Africa), Aster Aweke (Ethiopia) and Najma (India),
In the classical arena, Roland has received major commissions for choir, big band and orchestra including ‘songs from the cage’ - premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London and ‘Rio Amazonas’ premiered at The Barbican, London.
In jazz, Roland has specialised in Latin and African fare; This is shaped by a talent for arranging of the highest order, reflecting an understanding of both the great jazz and classical composers. (Roland has been described as the Gershwin of the 21st Century).
This will be a fiery night of great playing by this superb 6-piece band! The full personnel is:
Roland Perrin: keys
Jeremy Shoham: alto sax
Bob McKay: tenor sax
Paul Taylor: trombone

Paul Cavaciuti: drums
Between them they have worked with all sorts of A-listers, including Donna Summers, Georgie Fame, George Shearing, Roberto Pla, Snowboy, Paul McCartney, Ronnie Scott Big Band, Brotherhood of Breath, Mingus Big Band…The list could go on and on!

A note about the venue:
- The bar at Tap Social is card payment only.
- We seat people as much as possible on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. This means that those who buy tickets first are allocated the better seats (as opposed to that allocation being for those that show up first on the night)…so, BOOK NOW (and also save money on ticket prices with our early bird deal)!!
- We are ready to support people who have additional accessibility needs, please let us know in advance via the contact form in order for our team of volunteers to design the assigned seating plan to accommodate you.

Over the last 20+ years, The Spin has presented live music of the highest calibre within the broad 'contemporary jazz' genre, creating scintillating nights out for anybody with a taste for interesting, exciting, alluring and luscious music.
At The Spin, we believe that our events should be accessible to all, as well as affordable. This, in part, is only made possible with the help of our team of generous volunteers, who volunteer not only their time but also their expertise towards making our gigs the success that they are.
Every musician who plays at The Spin gets properly paid - and it is through your ticket purchases alone that we can do that. Our events are run on a tight budget to keep ticket prices down; we realise that not everyone can afford or may be willing to pay for higher ticket prices. However, for those of you who are happy to pay a little more and contribute further to the efforts of The Spin, we are giving you the opportunity to ’support the club' by making a voluntary contribution on top of your ticket price. These donations will be greatly appreciated and will help us to continue putting on our fantastic live jazz events.
