About this event

Drawing inspiration from the likes of the Oscar Peterson Trio and the John Taylor Trio, the Oscar Williams Trio invites you on a musical journey, showcasing some of their favourite music.

Oscar is an up and coming drummer on the London scene. His playing spans a wide range of styles—from performing with big bands including the Big Firkin Band, to intimate ensembles alongside jazz heavyweights such as Trevor Mires and Rory Simmons. Oscar is also heavily into Rock, Funk and Pop, playing Glastonbury in both 2024 and 2025.

Together with John Haslam, whose performances include top venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Toulouse Lautrec Jazz clubs; and Tom Sheen who works with incredible musicians including Rachael Cohen, Mark Kavuma, the Oscar Williams Trio promises an unforgettable night of great music!
