Jazz For Ukraine

Sunday 21 January, 15:00

Tickets £15, concessions £12

In the two years since the unprovoked invasion of their country, Ukrainians have astonished the world with their courage, resilience, and self-belief. Jazz for Ukraine is a celebration of this spirit, in solidarity and hope for Ukraine’s peaceful, independent future.

The concert presents leading jazz musicians from the UK and Europe, alongside local artists and young players, in a showcase of jazz music’s rising generation. Brighton & Hove Youth Big Band, the emerging jazz quintet Squint, and our headline act: the fabulous Ukrainian singer and composer Ganna Gryniva, in her first UK performance.

Jazz for Ukraine is in support of the charity War Child, which works in conflict zones across the world to provide children with access to professional psychological support. A representative from War Child will give a short presentation on their work in Ukraine to open our concert: an afternoon of wonderful live music, with an invitation to donate at the end. Do come along and support this wonderful event.

Gary Meikle

Tuesday 6 February, 19:30

Tickets £22.50

Gary Meikle returns to TOM in 2024! Here's a quick word from the man himself...

"Heya guys, thanks for thinking about coming back again to watch me build up the show… so what can you expect? Well, I’m calling the show ‘Facts’ so you’ll hear lots of them and my take on them (obviously), but as usual it’ll be focused around my family life as a single papa and a dad to two girls that are in process of rinsing me for every penny I have for their upcoming weddings..."
