After his sell out gig in 2021 we were delighted to get the call from Nigel Price about his 2023 tour.

Over a career spanning more than 25 years, award winning jazz guitarist Nigel Price has become widely acknowledged as one of the hardest working musicians in the business.

Musically, his blend of flowing bebop lines, deep blues sensibility and his mastery of chording continue to delight audiences and fellow musicians alike. His career highlights include a support show for Gladys Knight at The Royal Albert Hall and an appearance on Van Morrison’s recent album Keep Me Singing.

Starting his professional career in his early 20s, Nigel toured Europe with various reggae and funk bands before settling on a solo guitar career and turning his attention to jazz. Citing early influences as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nigel honed his craft by attending gigs and sitting in with the players of the time.

Nigel has played on more than 50 albums including 6 as a leader, spent ten years with acid jazz outfit The Filthy Six, was a member of James Taylor’s band for 3 years (with whom he recorded 5 albums) and performed with the legendary David Axelrod.  He has also taught at The International Guitar Foundation at King’s Place, London.

He has worked tirelessly to organise his own tours (including a 56 date tour in late 2016) and has picked up a Parliamentary Jazz Award (Best Jazz Ensemble, 2010), a nomination for a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2014) and a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2016) along the way.

Nigel is a regular performer at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club where he has made more than 500 appearances.  He released his fifth Organ Trio Album, Heads & Tales Volume 2,  in late 2016, to great critical acclaim. In 2021, in the guts of the pandemic, he finished his reorganised 2019-20 tour and released his homage to Wes Montgomery, "Wes Re-imagined".

Since then, as well as filling an overflowing gig schedule, Nigel has started the Grass Roots jazz fund as a solution to the general underfunding of small jazz clubs that form the fabric of the UK jazz scene. He’s challenged both the Arts council and the DCMS to up their game and now helps run the charity, which has supported several ailing clubs and helped turn them round. The word “indefatigable” doesn’t cover it really. 

We look forward to seeing you for this very special gig. We expect this one to sell well so don't delay…
