We are so happy to welcome ‘The Macaroons’ Jazz and Blues band for their first visit to The Paxton Centre as part of our ‘Eclectics’ series of world music gigs. These live music nights offer a fantastic opportunity to enjoy local musicians up close in our intimate venue. If you haven’t been before you are in for a real treat!

“The Macaroons (guitar, drums, harmonica, bass and trumpet) play an upbeat and edgy blues/soul/jazz mixture with a dash of European quirkiness. We add our own touch to jazz and blues standards and put our own twist on latin, funk, rock and soul numbers. Our musical melange will take you from the streets of New Orleans all the way to the back streets of Paris. We are based in London but our lives and travels abroad have left their indelible traces on our music. We like to share our music and good times with diverse audiences.”
