Shows coming up
Hi there everyone,
Hope you’re all well and enjoying this warm spring so far…Just a smattering of gigs to let you know about..
Wednesday 6th May 7.30-9.30pm, free.
Duo with Paul Richards at the Poacher, Hurstpierpoint.
Paul’s got a couple of new regular gigs, you possibly know him from the Brunswick Jazz Jam which he as been running for many years now, it’s a Brighton staple for up and coming as well as established musicians and singers and as such pulls a crowd every week. Do go along to that sometime if you haven’t yet. Paul’s just as at ease organising a jazz jam as he is when he gets to stretch out a bit in our duo setting, it’s really nice. If you’re out Hurst way, it’d be lovely to see you, apparently it’s a great pub with a friendly crowd.
The Poacher,139 High St, Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks BN6 9PU
Sunday 10th May – 12.30 to 3.30pm. Free, but booking advised.

Jazz at the Vic, Arundel, with Big House trio
This one should be really nice, I’ll be singing with Mike Carey’s Big House trio.
That’s Mike on piano, another Mike (Comber) on double bass and Stephen Cass on drums. It’s in the Victoria Institute which a really great community arts centre, there’s a fully black-curtain draped theatre space, yoga rooms and artists studios with painters and sculptures creating their artworks. Our concert is in the theatre space, so it’s a very much a listening affair!
The Victoria Institute, 10 Tarrant St, Arundel BN18 9DG
Bank Holiday Monday 25th May – 12.30 – 3.30pm
Jazz and Inflateables!
Duo in the hall at Beare Green village fair
So this is a fun one, you can listen to jazz and jump on an inflatable at the same event!
It’s Beare Green village fate, with stalls and various things going on, but this year they’ve got an inflatables company coming too. We’ll be in the hall playing some soothing jazz while people have their teas and relax a while, then you can go outside to enjoy some bouncing (or send your small people to have a go while you relax with us!)
Beare Green Village Hall. Merebank, Beare Green, Surrey, RH5 4RD
A couple of dates a little further on, but these are special so worth a go in your diaries I reckon 🙂
Friday 3rd July – 6-8pm £12
Songs of the Summer with Chris Coull Quintet
This is one in the series at St Andrew’s Church in Hove. Chris Coull has been running this weekly concert for a few years now and it’s really gained momentum. He’s doing some extra special concerts this month for the festival with jazz heavyweights such as Vasilis Xenopoulos, Alan Barnes and Claire Martin, do check out his website about it, I’ll link below..
So our offering in July will be a concert we’ve called ‘Songs of the Summer’, some bossas, some swing, some ballads, all in this beautiful church. I hope you can come.

(second chance to see) Songs of the Summer with Chris Coull Quintet
Chris and I and the quintet are also at the Ropetackle in Shoreham playing our Songs of Summer concert. The Ropetackle is a fantastic venue with a fully equipped theatre where we will be performing. This will be a special one too.
Ropetackle Arts Centre, Little High Street, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, BN43 5EG
I think that’s it for now!
Here’s a link to a lovely post that Matt put up on instagram recently…
And for those who don’t have instagram, how about a really old video.
Here’s me and my dad just playing for ourselves as we did a lot back then. For those with keen eyes will wonder why we look a bit different, well it’s because the video got flipped somehow along the way, so not only am I 12 years younger, I’m also back to front!
All the best, Ela x
Mailing list & Facebook
To find out about my gigs, you can either join my emailing list (drop me a line to elasouthgate@gmail.com), or follow me on Facebook.
My email list gets a little more advanced notice of gigs coming up than Facebook, plus I’ll send the odd nice link to something I’ve been listening to that week. I don’t send lots of emails, only every so often, and of course you can unsubscribe at any time.
Come and say hi on instagram too, though my postings about gigs are a bit more random!
Above is the lastest email I sent out, so you can get a feel for what you’d be signing up to, and also to see the listings of course!
