Join us on Thursday 17 Sept to experience the Dan Messore Quartet featuring Iain Ballamy - Live.

Dan Messore is an eclectic British jazz guitarist, composer, and bandleader known for his lyrical, narrative-driven style that frequently blends contemporary jazz with folk, world, and ambient influences.

Fresh off the back of recording a brand-new album of Messore’s original compositions, the quartet brings this vibrant new material to Palladinos. Spanning a broad musical spectrum, the set is steeped in vivid storytelling—evoking sweeping, panoramic landscapes and a poignant, wistful depth. From refined takes on jazz traditions to expansive cinematic themes, the music provides a sophisticated backdrop of world-class jazz that invites you to listen closely or simply sink into the vibe.

The Lineup
Iain Ballamy (Saxophones): An internationally acclaimed saxophonist and composer, Ballamy is a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz, celebrated for his rich tone, melodic invention, and expressive improvisation.
Dan Messore (Guitar): An eclectic British jazz guitarist, composer, and bandleader known for his lyrical, narrative-driven style that frequently blends contemporary jazz with folk, world, and ambient influences.
Jake Newman (Bass): The subtle engine of the group, Jake’s playing is defined by a deep, acoustic resonance and a steady, effortless swing that anchors the room.
Gethin Jones (Drums): A master of the “light touch,” Gethin excels at dynamic brushwork and crisp, melodic percussion that keeps the energy moving without ever overpowering.

The incredibly talented Iain Ballamy—celebrated saxophonist and ECM recording artist—will be joining the band as a special guest artist to showcase these newly recorded compositions for our upcoming show at Palladinos on September 17th!

Date: Thursday 17 September
Doors: 6:30pm
