The Red Stripe Band are enjoying their 23rd year in the business. They are an incredible septet led by Neil Drinkwater. Their colourful career has seen their latest CD “Soho Surprise” reach number 10 in the London Jazz Charts and their songs used on Radio and TV alike, including endorsement by Papa Johns the US Pizza Giant. They have played at virtually every jazz and blues festival in the UK and picked up best newcomer at Montreux Jazz Festival in 2010. Expect to be entertained with both original songs and other boogie woogie, swing and rock n roll classics in an engaging, ever moving and comical show.

The band plays all over the world at festivals, clubs and parties. They are asked back year after year to several jazz and blues festivals including Edinburgh, Derry, Umbria, Marlborough, Birmingham to name but a few. They have performed for the Royal Families of no less than five countries and have shared stages with Sting, Madonna, Van Morrison, Eddi Reader and Chris Barber.
