JON ONABOWU
London-based drummer, composer and bandleader Jon Onabowu is recognised for his high-energy live performances, deep groove and commitment to collective improvisation. His contemporary jazz project is driven by feel, intensity and real-time musical conversation, with each performance shaped organically on stage.
His live ensemble regularly features David Mrakpor (Blue Lab Beats) and INSXGHT on keys, Leslie Essel on bass, and Francois Fasano (Stormzy/Sugababes) on guitar — a fluid line-up built on trust, interplay and rhythmic precision.
Jon is a regular bandleader at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and has appeared at major international festivals including North Sea Jazz Festival and Montreux Jazz Festival, continuing to build momentum both in the UK and internationally.
Jon will perform at the Manchester Jazz Festival in May 2026, with additional UK tour dates currently being scheduled throughout 2026 in support of his new album, Now’s The Time.
ALICE ARMSTRONG
Congratulations to the outstanding ALICE ARMSTRONG on winning the European Blues Challenge 2025 and securing the UK Blues Award for Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year for the second consecutive year.
