On a much sadder note, RIP Sonny Rollins, the ‘colossus of the saxophone’, who died 25th May aged 95. I can’t get over that he played with Charlie Parker…. click on the pic for some of his music
Also this beautiful ballad from the soundtrack of ‘Alfie’
King Toadfish dynamic gig list
Please note, music usually starts around 8.45pm, and entry is free unless otherwise stated
We had a lovely time playing at the brilliant Ickburgh Road E5 street party on July 11th. Here is a short clip from the set, featuring a spacy duet between Marcus on congas and Hayden Parsey, our guest guitarist.
This will be our last gig for a while, as we are having a sabbatical until the autumn.
Gigs will be posted here as usual from then.
In the meantime, check us out on the usual streaming platforms.
We look forward to being back in a couple of months!
