The countdown to Stratos’ 10 year anniversary on Thursday, 4th June continues.

We sat down with drummer Zoe Pascal to reflect on the journey, the sessions and the sound that’s shaped Wednesday nights at Grow over the years.

Zoe was already making waves at a young age, becoming Soultone’s youngest UK endorsee at 11 and later a VATER artist at 13. He came up through both Tomorrow’s Warriors and the Junior Jazz Academy at the Royal Academy of Music, learning from the likes of Gary Crosby, Nathaniel Facey and Binker Golding along the way.

Many will also know Zoe through Zeñel, whose high-energy live shows have taken him to stages including Ronnie Scott’s, Love Supreme, the Royal Albert Hall and EFG London Jazz Festival.

Watch the full conversation with Zoe now.

Book your ticket via DICE or reserve a table through OpenTable. All info is available on our website. Free for jammers, £5 on the door. https://bit.ly/4ncTAwN

This weekend we are beyond pumped to welcome Auntie Flo for DeepDig into our canalside warehouse. It's going to be a 30-degree day, so get down early to get your spot and enjoy Kate Hutchinson warming up the night.

Auntie Flo has spent the last decade building one of the most adventurous musical worlds around, moving between highlife, deep house, percussive electronics and global rhythms with real depth and feeling.

This one is all about space and immersion. No quick-hit club set, just four hours digging through an extensive and wildly diverse record collection that's been built over years of digging, tracing connections between continents, communities and dancefloors with the kind of patience that makes DeepDig what it is.

Opening the night is Kate Hutchinson, broadcaster, journalist and longtime selector, setting the tone with a deep, percussive journey of her own before Auntie Flo takes things into the early hours. A very special one and to not miss.

Free before 9PM, with limited £5 and £7 advance tickets available on RA. The majority of tickets will be available on the door for £10 after.

Canalside Sessions happens every Sunday, bringing people together through sound on our floating pontoon by the River Lea in Hackney Wick.

Rooted in the spirit of jazz and its deep connection to Latin, Afro and global rhythms, the series explores music without borders, celebrating traditions, improvisation and shared energy from around the world.

Hosted by Williams Cumberbache, resident conga player and curator of the series, Canalside Sessions welcomes some of London’s finest musicians alongside unsung heroes and passing players from across the globe. Expect world-class music in an intimate canalside setting on our terrace.

Whether you’re settling in with a bunch, a spritz, a hot drink or something from our low and no selection, we’ve got you covered. Kids and dogs are always welcome, and best of all, it’s completely free. Book via Opentable or just come on through, walk-ins always welcome.

Join us this Sunday 24/05 as William Cumberbache hosts the Jack Williams Quartet for another deep afternoon of rhythm, soul and sound by the water.
