Jazz Vespers is a beautiful candlelit service centred around jazz and supporting local musicians.
The word Vespers means evening prayer and was an act of worship designed to be conducted at sunset and dates back to the 2nd Century.
This laid back and reflective service went from strength to strength before the pandemic with people travelling from all across London to enjoy a unique and innovative evening. After a long wait of 18 months, Jazz Vespers is finally back.
Please join the smooth and polished Nick Tomalin quartet and professional singer Inge-Lise Nygaard for what is sure to be an enjoyable and relaxed evening.
All are welcome to bring refreshments such as soft drinks, wine, and nibbles to enjoy both during and after the service. Nice!
