Jonas Metsäkylä with Eddie Gripper Trio

About the show

A rare chance to hear one of Europe’s most exciting new guitar voices up close.

Finnish guitarist Jonas Metsäkylä is a real treat to witness live – lyrical, fiery, inventive, and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. His recent collaborations with Chuck Israels of the Bill Evans Trio have won him high praise, and his work with Fraser Smith has seen him grace stages from Crazy Coqs to the Soho Jazz Festival 2025. Though based in Paris, his UK visits are few and special – this is an exclusive appearance not to be missed.

He joins the Eddie Gripper Trio, led by award-winning pianist and composer Eddie Gripper– known for his critically acclaimed album Home, sell-out shows across the UK, and performances with Simon Spillett, Nigel Price, Pete Long, and more.

A night of original compositions, standards and jazz classics.
