World-class Live Music
award-winning artists
right in the heart of Eltham!
“His technique is flawless and is in service to his fertile imagination. One of my favorites and a source of inspiration! Don’t miss an opportunity to hear this modern giant!!” Peter Bernstein
For this year’s Guitar Special in tribute to our much missed friend and colleague Dave Colton, we are delighted to host the multi-award-winning and internationally acclaimed guitarist, bandleader and composer, Phil Robson.
Phil’s impressively varied credits include David Liebman, Mark Turner, Billy Hart, James Genus, Kenny Wheeler, Barbra Streisand, Vince Mendoza, Donny McCaslin, Ingrid Jenson, Bob Brookmeyer, Nikki Iles, Jed Levy, and The BBC and NDR Big Bands. He is also known for long associations with his partner, the great singer/songwriter Christine Tobin, and the cult UK band ‘Partisans’ which he co-led with saxophonist Julian Siegel for 23 years.
We present world-class jazz concerts, two Thursdays a month, open to all: no membership required.
Our concerts take place in the comfortable lounge bar at Eltham Warren Golf Club, which is within walking distance of Eltham town centre and has its own free car park right outside.
We are named after the formidable Hugh & Marion Ockendon, who promoted live jazz in Eltham for over 32 years! Hugh, a classically trained pianist with a deep love of jazz, sadly died in 2020, followed by Marion, a cabaret artist and band vocalist, in October 2022.
Hugh & Marion’s legacy now continues under the stewardship of multi-award-winning vocalist, lyricist and producer Georgia Mancio (Alan Broadbent, ReVoice! Festival, Bobby McFerrin) and acclaimed drummer Dave Ohm (Ian Shaw, Benny Golson, Gregory Porter).
