The Reliables @ Roadtrip and The Workshop, Shoreditch, Dec. 2nd

The Reliables will play a cool Saturday night club gig at “Roadtrip & The Workshop”, positioned at the “gateway to Shoreditch” right by Old Street tube station. This venue has good food and a great vibe, and The Reliables have been working on some new tunes, as well as new and improved (hipper, more bluesy, more funky) arrangements of the standards and originals you’ve come to love them for. All this combined will make for a great Saturday night out. We’d love to see you, please do join us.

The Reliables are back at the Lord Palmerston, Aug. 23rd

You’re still enjoying a lovely holiday, sitting in the sun, relaxing. Dreading the thought of going back into the daily grind. Here’s light into the work routine restart: the Reliables are back at the Lord Palmerston on 23 August, starting 7:30pm! We’re branching out further into the groovy/funky world & adding latin vibes with new originals and some cool modern classics.

There’s great food & drinks in the lovely and stylish atmosphere of the Palmerston and – if you join us – a lovely crowd 🙂

The Reliables…

From Sophie Alloway’s drumming – one of the UK’s brightly shining & grooving lights – to Dave Barrows’ saxiomatic solos inspired by his Californian upbringing and tutelage by the greats; The Reliables live up to their name by making live Jazz and Funk music fun – reliably! Expect danceable, boogylicious swinging entertainment propelled by Mike Searl’s bopping bass and Rob Pfeiffer’s electro-magnetically charged guitar chops.  Reliably good jazz music.

The Reliables at The Lord Palmerston, Weds. 12th July

We’re kicking off 7:30pm on Wednesday, 12th July and this time we’re super excited to be playing as the quartet we’re meant to be with drummer exceptionelle Sophie Alloway!

More groove, more swing, great food, top drinks, beautiful location.

Looking forward to seeing you next week at the Lord Palmerston, 33 Dartmouth Park Hill, Tufnell Park, London NW5 1HU.
