Event information

Billy Pod (aka Vasileios Podaras) is an award-winning Greek drummer/musician based in London.

His debut album 'Drums to Heal Society' (2019), has not just given Billy a prominent position among the new generation of drummers internationally, but also demonstrated his compelling skills as a composer and music ensemble director.

His latest album entitled ‘Quintessence’ is a reflection on the intellectual nature of humanity in modern society. It was well received by press, media and audiences during his UK and European tour in 2023. Billy will be presenting music from this album along with other original compositions, and arrangements of classical music pieces and jazz standards.

They play dynamic and lyrical contemporary jazz with haunting melodies and rich, complex moods.

“His abilities as writer and performer are refreshing, different and most welcome” - Jazzwise Magazine.

"Billy Pod is an artist that has something important to say so it’s best we give him our attention going forward…” - Lost in the Nordics Blog.

Features Ant Law - guitar, Rupert Cox - piano, Joe Downard - bass, & Billy Pod – drums.
