Fresh new international band ‘The Traveling Janes’ debut at nightjar- and for this session we have our pal Enrico Tomasso joining us on trumpet.

Celebrating wild old-time popular music from the red hot roots of jazz and blues. 

Five women from Four countries rework the powerful tunes that brought fame to pioneers Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet and many others. 

Not a pastiche, this show is steeped in facts - the band name ‘Traveling Janes’ is a proud reclaiming of a slang label for women who worked on the travelling railroad and tent shows of the 1900s.

This bold music is as vibrant and relevant today as it was during the prohibition period and ‘The Janes’ aspire to embrace our 21st century ears with the same rapture and joyous spirit that the original composers intended.

Cover Charge: £10
+ Late Set from 00:00 - 01:00 (£6 on the door or £5 for those staying on)
