We welcome Alex Goodyear to The Flamingo Club for this very special gig.

Since graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 2019, Alex has become a regular of the UK Jazz scene, with collaborations including John Law’s Re-Creations, Jon Lloyd Quartet, and Bristol based trio Yetii, as well as numerous sideman performances with a range of British and International Jazz artists including Simon Spillett, Denny Ilett, Enrico Tomasso, Seamus Blake, Iain Ballamy, Arun Ghosh, Ian Bateman, Zoe Gilby, and Alan Barnes.

His new trio celebrates the breadth and depth of The Great American Songbook, inspired by the hard swinging grooves and tight arrangements of Oscar Peterson, Jeff Hamilton, and Monty Alexander.

Jon Lloyd
“A force of nature…”

“One of the fastest rising stars of Jazz in the UK”
Jazz Knights
"Swinging, tasteful, and his contribution is sublime. He’s a musician's drummer. There are drummers with the chops flying everywhere but getting in the way of the music... here we have a player who could do all of this but chooses to play the music. Enhancing those around him. Adding colours and being a voice in the perfect conversation."
