Evolving out of the Üf-Beat Fringe Music Club in Crouch End, The OffBeat Trio has played about half a dozen gigs through the music club’s events in the last three years. We were happy to get a booking at Jazz Rumours near Finsbury Park in October, 2025.

NEXT GIGS: Finsbury Park and Crouch End

June 7th, 3 pm – Jazz Rumours – 12 Pine Grove, Finsbury Park N4 3LL (ticket link, coming soon, or pay on door).

June 17th, 7.30 pm – Crouch End Festival, Holy Innocents Church, 134 Tottenham Lane, N8 7EL (donations on the door).

Jazz Rumours – feedback from the host of the club –

Their approach to improv proved to be a breath of fresh air.
They were all at once dynamic, responsive, humorous and engaging
– a delight for the eardrums.
We will certainly be having them back at Jazz Rumours.”
– Jim Dvorak, trumpet, club host.
