Join us in East London for an unforgettable evening of live music with acclaimed pianist Dom Pipkin. Drawing inspiration from Professor Longhair, Huey “Piano” Smith, Lee Dorsey and James Booker, Pipkin brings the heart and soul of New Orleans jazz, blues and funk piano to the stage.
For more than two decades, Pipkin has been recognised as the UK’s leading exponent of the New Orleans sound. Described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano,” he has performed at prestigious festivals including the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the legendary “Piano Night.” His career spans thousands of concerts worldwide, with appearances on radio, TV, and theatre stages.
“Dom brings the whole New Orleans thing to the UK. So good! “
– Zigaboo Modeliste, the Meters.
“I can’t hold a candle to this guy…”

keeping myself busy during the formative years and after, in the classical/contemporary environment, working with a few orchestras and percussion ensembles, also collaborating with composers, until I felt it was time to move on and explore percussion languages from other cultures with experts from different countries, before definitively moving abroad in 2002.
