Robin Nolan Trio 16May

Robin Nolan Trio – For The Love Of George

Music Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm

Advance Price: £23

Legendary in the world of Gypsy Jazz, Robin Nolan is one of the most respected guitarists since Django Reinhardt. He’s graced the stages of Montreux, North Sea Jazz, the Royal Albert Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. George Harrison called him a favourite, Bill Wyman had him in his band, and Hank Marvin has frequently joined him live on stage.

His 2025 critically acclaimed release “For The Love Of George” (Dark Horse / BMG)  is a collection of George Harrison and Beatles songs reinterpreted in Robin’s unique way.

A real magic can be heard on the recording helped by the fact Robin plays some of George’s most iconic guitars on the album recorded at Harrisons studio in Friar Park.

Robin’s 2025 live show brings all of this together, if you love The Beatles, Harrison, Reinhardt or Nolan, you don’t want to miss this show.

The Trio features UK guitar virtuoso Chris Quinn, known as a masterful musician in his own right, regularly seen alongside some of the world’s most celebrated guitarists and the leading English upright bassist Tom Moore.

With George Harrison, Hank Marvin and Bill Wyman as his fans, Willie Nelson said it best “You play a mighty fine guitar Robin Nolan”. If you love great music, DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!…

George Harrison – “In these days of Cacophony it’s great to hear some proper music!”

Bill Wyman – Robin Nolan is so amazingly good!”

Vintage Guitar – “Robin is an exceptional improviser… If you like gypsy jazz and you haven’t heard The Robin Nolan Trio, you should.”
