The Soho Jazz Festival 2025 opens in unforgettable style on Wednesday 10th September, with a very special performance from Golden Buzzer star and UK legend Lifford Shillingford, joined by festival producer and pianist Nathan Britton.
Set in the intimate surroundings of Piano Bar Soho at Red Room Studios — an award-winning venue celebrated for its warmth, soul, and impeccable sound — the opening night offers a rare chance to experience two incredible artists up close. Recently relocated to its new home at 42 Windmill Street, Piano Bar Soho continues to carry forward its tradition of world-class live music in a uniquely personal setting.
Festival Producer Nathan Britton shared his excitement for the event:
“Lifford Shillingford is a UK legend and one of the most talented individuals I’ve ever met. The musicality and control he has over his voice is really out of this world — the insane runs, his ridiculous range, and a spectrum of vocal colors which he achieves with his voice. If you haven’t seen him live, you really should do. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
With Lifford’s extraordinary vocal mastery paired with Nathan Britton’s virtuosic artistry at the piano, this intimate opening performance promises to set the tone for a festival that celebrates both today’s icons and the future of jazz.
