Jess brings her charisma and magnetism to the stage with a band of seven brilliant musicians, delivering a show that lifts the spirits and lights up the room.

A show packed with energy, joy and vibrant music sure to bring a smile to your face.

Jess Gillam, award-winning saxophonist and presenter, has crafted a diverse and electrifying programme – SHINE. Spanning 900 years of music, SHINE weaves together the dynamism of CPE Bach, the groove of Michael Nyman, the tenderness of Barbara Strozzi and the intimacy of folk traditions. The concert includes festive favourites and even a touch of traditional wassailing for good measure!
