Chip Wickham

If you are looking for something to do on a Tuesday evening, Chip Wickham is playing at Alphabet in Brighton on April 21, 2026. For those familiar with his work, he is a saxophonist and flautist who has spent time in both the Manchester jazz scene and his home city of Brighton. His sound often blends 60s spiritual jazz with contemporary nu-jazz elements and cinematic textures. If you have listened to artists like Matthew Halsall or The Cinematic Orchestra, his approach to instrumental music might feel familiar, as he operates in a similar musical space.

This performance is tied to his latest album, The Eternal Now, which is out on Gondwana Records. Throughout his career, Wickham has collaborated with a variety of artists, including The Pharcyde, Nightmares On Wax, and Rae & Christian, which gives you a sense of the different influences he brings to his live sets. The venue, Alphabet, is located at 11 Dyke Road, BN1 3FE. Doors open at 19:00, and the show is scheduled to wrap up by 22:30.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are priced at £20, which includes the booking fees. It is worth noting that this is an 18+ event, so you will need to bring ID if you plan on attending. It is a straightforward setup for a weeknight show—just the music, the venue, and the atmosphere. Whether you are a long-time fan of his specific style of jazz or just looking for a live music option in the city, the details are set for that Tuesday night.
