The Spin presents: The Nicolas Meier World Group @ Tap Social, Botley, Oxford - Wednesday 26th February, Doors 7.30pm
Doors: 7.30pm
Performance from 8.30pm
One of the Spin’s most popular – and certainly most virtuosic – guests returns to The Spin with his outstanding band: Nicolas Meier! His ‘World Group’ has a unique sound, incorporating a meld of Middle Eastern, Turkish, jazz and fusion influences. Meier has had a glittering career, including three years of touring with Jeff Beck and subsequent recordings with Yellowjackets bassist, Jimmy Haslip and Sting/Zappa/everybody! drummer, Vinnie Collaiuta!
The World Group offers a massive range of colours: Nick himself plays various types of guitar (including his masterly work on the fretless and the fretless 11-string!), and the group benefits from the rich sonorities of Richard Jones’ electric violin and the keyboard wizardry of Alex Hutton. Completing the band is the super-versatile bassist, Tom Mason (Gwilym Simcock, Anoushka Shankar, Jamie Cullum, Lily Allen etc.) and the outrageously talented percussionist, Demi Garcia-Sabat!
Nick never fails to woo and wow an audience; this will be fabulous fare, and will be a gig that will sell out quickly. So really folks... BOOK NOW!!!
Check out the band in quartet format here:
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.
