We are delighted to welcome the Sophie Alloway Quartet to Highams Park Jazz Club for their first appearance at the club on Saturday, 19 September.

This concert will also mark the beginning of our new monthly concert season, and we are very excited to open the programme with such a fantastic line-up of musicians.

Sophie Alloway is a highly versatile and in-demand drummer on the London jazz scene. She has performed with many leading artists including Jason Rebello, Yazz Ahmed, Laurence Cottle, Tony Kofi, Nigel Price and Tony Allen, among many others. Her wide-ranging career has taken her across jazz, fusion, pop and contemporary music, including touring with artists such as Roots Manuva, Gala, and the Michael Jackson musical Thriller.

Sophie has also been the drummer with the original fusion band Lydian Collective for over a decade, a group that has built a strong international following. As a session musician, she has recorded at renowned studios including Abbey Road, and her television credits include Later... with Jools Holland, the Glastonbury Festival, and the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year.
For this special evening, Sophie brings together an exceptional quartet featuring three of the finest musicians on the UK jazz scene.
