The George Hilliam Septet

About The George Hilliam Septet

With a mind-boggling array of experience between them, including performances at leading jazz clubs - Ronnie Scott’s, The Vortex, The 606 Club, Pizza Express and the Eastside Jazz Club as well as at The Soho Theatre, The Barbican, The Royal Albert Hall and established British Festivals - Glastonbury, We Out Here, EFG London Jazz and The Brick Lane Jazz, George has brought this great band together to bring you a fabulous night of live music ranging from classic jazz standards to original compositions, all especially arranged for this amazing band!

History: George, Jono, Ollie, Kaz and Macy all played together as part of HotHouse Music School’s Screaming Kicks Big Band, rehearsing here at Derby Grammar School! They have all gone on to develop their jazz musicianship as part of Britain’s jazz support programmes – Guildhall Summer School, Junior Royal Academy and the National Youth Jazz Collective and subsequently to study jazz at The Royal Academy of Music, Trinity Laban, Guildhall and The Royal Birmingham Conservatoires. They are joined tonight by Charlie who also attends Trinity Laban and is already a busy London trombonist with both jazz and pop bands and Wren, a very talented London-based alto sax player, currently studying at The Royal Academy of Music.
