The Dime Notes; Early jazz, stomp and swing!

The Dime Notes dig back into the blues-drenched sounds of clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz, unearthing a repertoire of stomps, blueses, and forgotten gems of the era from musicians such as Johnny Dodds, Jelly Roll Morton and Red Nichols.

Fronted by Chris Barber’s long-time clarinetist David Horniblow, an established figure on the London jazz scene and American pianist Andrew Oliver, a recent arrival to the UK, the band is anchored by the unstoppable pulse of London’s finest rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie and Australian born, Paris-based bassist Sebastien Girardot, well known across the international scene for his swing and versatility.

The Dime Notes present a fresh take on a timeless style, emphasizing the propulsive grooves and sultry melodies which made early jazz revolutionary, controversial, and wildly popular.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – THE SMALL PRINT – PLEASE READ:

When you book tickets online, this booking guarantees you a table – PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US UNLESS COMPLETELY NECESSARY.
At very busy events you may need to share a table if there’s just two of you. You can make new friends!
Seating is always allocated on arrival unless we have large bookings, i.e. tables of 5 or more. So, to get the best seats, always arrive early; doors open at 6pm, and music will start between 8 and 8.30pm. Our kitchen closes at 10pm.
Your ticket purchase goes directly to musicians; we do not keep a penny of it. We therefore reserve the right to have a minimum spend on concert nights of £15 per person. We cannot continue to do what we do best without this policy.
Finally, our staff work incredibly hard, and we do add service to your bill on concert nights.
