SOUTH NORWOOD JAZZ CLUB AT STANLEY ARTS
Kitty Whitelaw has performed multiple times over the years in South London’s beautiful Stanley Arts. In 2025 she decided to begin a new local Jazz night for the area, so began the South Norwood Jazz Club.
SNJC is a monthly Jazz night hosted by Kitty, where she invites different musicians to perform every month. The night has sold out every month since starting in October 2025 and has included some of the best London Jazz talent on the scene.
The venue Stanley Arts is a Grade II listed Edwardian arts complex that is fully accessible. The Jazz club is for all ages and is a relaxed space for people to enjoy Jazz music. If you have any questions about the club, please feel free to get in touch with Kitty on her contact page or you can join her mailing llist below!

Sam Braysher, “whose warm tone and consonant and inquisitive approach to harmony is attracting growing attention on the British jazz scene”, (All About Jazz) is a London-based alto saxophonist, who has received widespread critical acclaim for his three albums to date.
Following on from a string of sold out gigs (including Ronnie Scott’s) and an album exploring the fascinating Berlin-to-Broadway songs of Kurt Weill, Sam’s next project takes a look at music by French film composer Michel Legrand. Expect to hear classic numbers and hidden gems from the Great American Songbook and jazz canon.
Accompanying Sam will be rising star pianist Harry Ashworth and MOBO award-winning bassist Tom Farmer (EMPIRICAL).
