About us
London Jazz Meetup (LJM) is an open forum for jazz lovers, musicians and artists, jazz venues and promoters to share their love of jazz and live music in all its varied forms. Please note there is a one-off £5 contribution when you join the group. Membership to LJM is free thereafter.
As a member of LJM, you can start going to amazing gigs with likeminded people and find out about the wide range of jazz on offer across London, from young bands starting their career to iconic jazz musicians passing through town, including a well of London based artists dedicated to playing great music.
LJM also plays a part in supporting jazz artists in London. If you are a jazz musician, artist, promoter or venue, you are welcome to list your gigs on the LJM calendar.
Listing gigs on LJM is free, it gives your event great visibility to a large group of jazz lovers. In return we ask that you arrange for a clearly signposted reserved space for LJM members who attend your gig. This is to ensure that LJM members can gather and socialise together. Please ask me for more details about how to list and host your event on LJM.
So introduce yourself and share why you joined. And if you see a gig that you’d like to go to and it is not on the calendar, you can post a message on LJM to see who’s interested in going. If there are a few, you can become an event host for the night.
By becoming a member you confirm that you have read, understood and agree with LJM our group rules below.
LJM GROUP RULES
LJM is an inclusive group, we expect our members to feel safe when they attend events. Please be respectful and considerate.
When you sign to an event, it is your responsibility to purchase your own ticket for the performance, your own travel and pub expenses. Please only RSVP that you are attending an event, once you have bought a ticket for the performance.
It is your responsibility to find and arrive at the meeting place on time if you want to enjoy the gig with other LJM members. If you are late, please notify the event host. However it is up to the event host how long the group can wait for you.
Event hosts do not charge for organising and hosting events, they volunteer their time and energy to make everyone feel welcome. Please make it your responsibility too.
Please amend your RSVP to “not attending” if for any last minute reason you are unable to attend the event. It is important for the event host to have an accurate number of people attending the event, so they don’t have to wait unnecessarily.
Please contribute to our forum in any way you can, by sharing your ideas or making suggestions. Why not even organise an event once in a while? You have a choice to become a one-off or a regular 'event host'.

Jonny Liebeck Quintet @ 606 Club
606 Jazz Club, 90 Lots Road, Chelsea, London, SW10, GBJonny Liebeck Quintet Thursday 13th August 2026 - 8:00 pm
606 Club | Music Charge: £17.00 | BOOKINGS → https://www.606club.co.uk/events/view/jonny-liebeck-3/“There is almost certainly no other musician on the London music scene … who has found such instinctively musical ways to combine jazz and electronic dance music. It is almost as if he is creating a new art form." Sebastian Scotney, UK Jazz News
Mixing 20th century influenced jazz & fusion with electronic dance music, keyboardist & bandleader Jonny Liebeck has crafted a sound that captures the zeitgeist of this moment. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music & Trinity Laban, he’s had gigs all over London, performing at London venues including the Southbank Centre (Purcell Room), Royal Albert Hall, Pizza Express, Toulouse Lautrec, Rich Mix, 91 Living Room & many more, as well as playing alongside Cuban Jazz legend Omar Puente & Soul legend Mica Paris.
Joining Jonny on the stand are four outstanding musicians who have played with Questlove, Mark Ronson, Jamie Cullum, Grace Jones & more and are acclaimed in their own right: Donovan Haffner-sax, Ezekiel Ajie-bass, Owen Snider-guitar & Andrew McLean-drums. The quintet will be performing new work, as well as some tunes from previous albums/EP's 'Influences', 'The Next Chapter' & 'Mellow Mind'.
Expect a fusion of soulful jazz harmony, luscious sound textures, lyrical guitar and sax melodies, groovy basslines, and intricate breakbeats to get you up on your feet. This is jazz with at least one foot on the dancefloor…Band Line-up
