Jazz Sabbath

University of Kent

Jazz Sabbath is a jazz trio drawing inspiration from Black Sabbath's music, turning the whole history of rock upside down. With brilliant piano jazz and improvisational power, they reinterpret metal classics such as "Iron Man," "War Pigs" and "Paranoid" as if they had always belonged to the world of jazz.

The Music Room

After a year off, Rick Wakeman’s traditional Christmas tour returns in November and December 2024 with an all-new show! In a change from his usual solo Christmas concerts, Rick will be joined by two very special guests: his son and fellow keyboard player Adam Wakeman and Mollie Marriott, daughter of the late Steve Marriott, both of whom performed so brilliantly with Rick on his Return Of The Caped Crusader… tour in February.

The new line-up will give Rick much more range and flexibility in the material he is able to perform, which will be a mixture of old and new from his back catalogue, some traditional Christmas songs and an unexpected piece of audience participation!

Expect hilarious banter from Wakemans Senior and Junior, as Adam tries to control his father’s gentle ‘unwokeness’, fabulous soaring vocals from Mollie and virtuosic performances from a pair of musicians widely acknowledged as two of the most outstanding keyboard players in the business.
