Multi-award-winning vocalist, lyricist and producer, Georgia Mancio (Alan Broadbent, ReVoice! Festival, Kate Williams), and acclaimed drummer, Dave Ohm (Ian Shaw, Benny Golson, Gregory Porter), announce their second jazz club venture, following their takeover of the long-standing Eltham Jazz Club (Hugh & Marion’s) in November 2022.
Crystal Palace Jazz Club began in September 2024; Georgia and Dave inviting some of the UK’s finest musicians to collaborate with them in a series of fully sold out residencies on the 1st Tuesday and Wednesday of the month.
Guests in the opening season included award-winning guitarist/bandleader Nigel Price, virtuoso flautist/pianist Gareth Lockrane, world-acclaimed saxophonist Tony Kofi, rising star guitarist Sam Dunn and culminating in 2 added Xmas Specials with the extraordinary, multi-award-winning vocalist & pianist Liane Carroll.
Crystal Palace Jazz Club takes place in the magical downstairs whisky and cocktail bar at Hopscotch Taprooms, right in the heart of the vibrant Triangle.
Seating is arranged concert style for around 30-35 people. The intimacy of this space (reminiscent of famed New York counterpart, Mezzrow), with its excellent, warm acoustics, envelops the audience in the music. There are also a few great spots further back in the room, alongside the bar itself, with its incredible selection of 170 whiskies, rums and bourbons, and plant foraged cocktails, some made with spirits over 50 years old!
Crystal Palace residents for 15 years, Georgia and Dave were encouraged to start the club by Hopscotch owner Matthew Clark and investor Andy Richardson, who prize live music as one of the key elements to their business. Indeed Clark was formerly a sound engineer in his native New Zealand and Richardson is also a bassist and vocalist. Hopscotch opened early this year, high up on Westow Hill with its stunning views across London. A charming café with a sunny courtyard garden by day, that transforms into a candlelit bar at night.
