Toby Carswell Jazz Experiment

Bournemouth-raised, London Based jazz pianist Toby Carswell returns after last year’s spontaneous gig with his four amigos from London and Bristol – which was so good that we decided to do it again! An exclusively arranged jazz quartet consisting of the enigmatic Jonah Hitchens on guitar, Samuel Fox on bass and James Fuke on drums, giving us a night of fusion-inspired, improv-heavy instrumental fun, never to be heard before or again!
