Exploring the most lyrical of his music over years of composition, Grammy-award-winning pianist and multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi offers an evening of richly melodic piano trio music, in collaboration with drummer, Matthew Jackson, bassist, Derek Whyte and special guest American saxophonist, Steve Welsh

Many Christmas jazz classics were written in America in the 1940s, a period which also gave birth to the American crooner, performers who could exude an effortlessly cool swagger.

Legendary blues guitarist and singer Nigel Mooney will perform songs form his fun-filled, critically acclaimed Christmas album includeing such gems as ‘Twenty-First Century Santa Claus Blues’, ‘Let’s Cancel Christmas For Jesus’s Sake’ and ‘It Ain’t Nobody’s Christmas But Our Own’ along with all the usual Christmas carols, standards and tunes - featuring Scott Flanigan and Dominic Mullan.

“He was the wittiest of all the great American pop composers.”
– Washington Post on Cole Porter

One of the 20^th Century’s songwriting geniuses, Cole Porter was the toast of Broadway and Hollywood. Composer of the hit musicals Anything Goes, Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can, Silk Stockings and High Society, he epitomised the wit, charm, elegance and sophistication of an era. Singer Stella Bass and pianist Niall Kinsella invite you to sit back and revel in a lunchtime of song that’s guaranteed to be de-lightful, de-licious, de-lovely!

The Definitive Rat Pack are best known as the original Westend cast members of The Rat Pack – Live from Las Vegas who have now created their own and more personal show, they return to the National Concert Hall on Saturday Jan 17th 2025. They have played the Hall so many times over the last ten years to full capacity audiences that it is almost a second home to them.

Saxophonist, flautist, and producer Chip Wickham casts a formidable shadow across the UK jazz scene. From his early days in the UK breakbeat scene to a 17-year collaboration with Gondwana Records, Chip has crafted a series of acclaimed solo albums drawing on spiritual jazz, 60s British jazz, and contemporary influences like Jazzanova and The Cinematic Orchestra.

Ireland’s King of Swing is back! Luke Thomas & The Swing Cats are hitting the road in 2026 with a spectacular new show that blends the magic of SWING and BIG BAND with the energy of classic rock.

Get ready to hear iconic hits like Wonderwall, The Boys Are Back In Town, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hey Jude – reimagined with the sizzling Swing Cats style – alongside timeless favourites from Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong and more. From high-octane big band showstoppers like Sing, Sing, Sing and Puttin’ On The Ritz to smooth crooner classics like Fly Me To The Moon and New York, New York – this is a night packed with unforgettable music.

Thomas Enhco, piano
Maki Namekawa, piano

Two inspired pianists from different musical spheres, Thomas Enhco and Maki Namekawa, together tackle Keith Jarrett’s legendary album The Köln Concert (ECM, 1975), rendering the incredible luminance of its music freely oscillating between jazz and classical. Two artists and two approaches: Maki Namekawa will play note for note the first and last parts, while Thomas Enhco will improvise around the central part.
The classically trained Namekawa has endeavoured to faithfully reproduce the transcription of the concert from the recording. Jazz pianist Enhco, on the other hand, offers a new improvisation based on the original melodic framework. In doing so, the two pianists will present a reinvented work that aims to perpetuate the atmosphere of the now iconic concert.

Ella Fitzgerald is probably the most beloved jazz singer of all time, with hits like Manhattan, Summertime, Bewitched and Lady is a Tramp.

Amassing 13 Grammy Awards and 40 million albums sales over an astounding 60-plus year career, Ella could effortlessly cross over between sultry ballads, intricate jazz arrangements and light pop tunes, and could imitate any instrument of the orchestra.
