The much-loved festive, annual tradition of Guy Barker’s Big Band Christmas returns in 2024 for its ninth year.
Join us for a swinging, soulful celebration of big band music with a Christmas twist! Guy Barker’s inimitable mixture of jazz classics, unearthed treasures and Christmas oddities will put a swing in your step in the midst of the festive season.
Guy will be joined on stage by special guests Paloma Faith, Tony Momrelle, Clare Teal, Vanessa Haynes, Giacomo Smith and Ian Shaw, helping him raise the Royal Albert Hall roof, and converting even the grumpiest bah humbugs to the joys of Christmas!
