John Ellis: As It Happens
Sun 24 November 2024
Stage time / 7:00pm
Doors / 6:15pm
Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
A journey through 40 years in music, with the piano, as ever, at the centre of his musical exploration. John will be partnered by friend, drummer/vocalist Donna Teeson through songs and improvisations, some original, some familiar.
John Ellis is a maverick musician, writer, and producer from the North of England. He performs with his own bands and Manchester compatriots Honeyfeet and Baked A La Ska. His adventures have led to contributions to the work of many well-established artists, both live and on record, including Corinne Bailey Rae, Tom Jones, Lily Allen, The Cinematic Orchestra, Alabaster Deplume, James Yorkston, and John Squire.
He has spent the last 20 years also producing and writing music at his studio in Manchester, Limefield.
For this concert, he is joined by fellow Alabaster Deplume collaborator Donna Teeson for the telling of musical tales with a chance to re-calibrate the world.
“I’m really looking forward to this chance to play London, performing some new music and songs with Donna, someone who I’ve found so inspiring to play with in the past. I know that both of us believe the music has to be ALIVE and has the power to shift things.”
