CARNIVAL WEEKEND: JAZZ RE-FEST II kicks off at The Flyover in Ladbroke Grove.
After the success of the 1st JAZZ RE:FEST last year, the Jazz re:freshed crew have answered the call to do it all again this year and the dynamic duo of Justin ‘TopRock’ McKenzie & Adam ‘Rock’ Moses predict another unmissable night!
Fresh from winning the status of an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation Jazz Re-Freshed plan to build a on decade of hosting the cutting edge of nu-skool live jazz. They have championed both upcoming and well-established homegrown bands as well as showcasing influential international acts.

The bar has been lifted and this year, JAZZ RE:FEST is set to be bigger, brighter & bolder with an ambitious and, as ever, innovative line up. Check the vids below!
