Errol Linton
Come and listen to the blues lead by Harmonica wizard Errol Linton. The Wednesday beats are an urban sound with rural roots. Some songs get the crowd grooving and then there’s the ska and blues vibe. A good mid-week music boost from our Brixton musician
Thursday Nights
9.30pm-11.15pm
Jamaica Jazzzz
Brilliant Resident band. Thursday nights have been enjoyed by many people for many years and still we enjoy…. The jazz, ska and reggae fusion is tastefully done leaving us with a feel good factor by the end of the session. The occasional reggae vocals on the night really add to the night. A really good experience to finish off the week and get you ready for the weekend. The Effra Hall on a Thursday is a popular night so come early and grab a seat.
Saturday Nights
9.30pm-11.15pm
Alan Weekes Quartet
A guitarist with a natural talent. Known for his soulful rhythmic grooves and alluring solos in a variety of genres such as jazz, blues, reggae, ska, pop and opera, his talent has been in high demand for over 3 decades. We are blessed to have Alan Weekes here at The Effra every Saturday with the occasional guest replacement. A great way to start your Saturday evening.
