First inspired by the greats of old such as Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson, Zayn has since combined this with rock, to jazz licks to add to his repertoire. The night will feature him and his band delivering blistering yet soulful chops to your ears, along with a funky twist.

Lincoln-born singer songwriter Will Hayes only relocated to London in April, but is already making waves here in the capital, having played a smattering of well-received gigs across the city.
