Jack Solomons Club is the basement at 41 Great Windmill Street, the Discovery Stage where London's music history was made and remade. Bar from 18:30. Live from 20:00. Limited seated capacity.
Led by trumpeter and producer Laurence Wilkins, Zeñel harnesses the power of UK electronic and urban music, and combines it with their love of jazz, live improvisation and virtuosity. Authentically drawing on styles including UK Garage, Grime, Jungle and even UK Drill, Zeñel utilises an innovative, forward-thinking live set-up to create an instantly recognisable sound which is both 'produced' and spontaneous. Making waves on social media and throughout the UK scene with their tunes 'VOCOPHORIA' and 'SPYRO SKANK', they've garnered tens of thousands of new fans over the last couple of years, as well as the attention of influential names like Blanco and Saiming, leading to notable collaborations with both.
