Mammal Hands

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this autumn, Mammal Hands are playing at The Old Market on September 29, 2026. The trio, made up of saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart, and drummer Rob Turner, has been around for a while now, and they are bringing their latest project to the city. They have recently signed with the German label ACT and released their sixth studio album, Circadia, earlier this spring, so this show is part of the tour supporting that new material.

Their sound is usually described as a blend of jazz, contemporary classical, electronic, folk, and minimalism. It is the kind of music that leans into a cinematic and atmospheric feel, which should fit the acoustics of The Old Market on Upper Market Street in Hove quite well. The show is scheduled to run from 19:00 until 22:30. It is worth noting that while they will be playing tracks from Circadia, they are also mixing in a selection of their earlier work, so it should be a fairly comprehensive set if you are already familiar with their back catalogue.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are currently listed with a guide price of £30.00. As with most events in the city, it is worth keeping in mind that prices can fluctuate, so it is best to check the official venue or ticketing platforms if you are planning to go. The venue itself is located at BN3 1AS, and while there is no specific age restriction mentioned for this event, it is always a good idea to double-check the venue’s website directly if you have any questions about access or specific policies for the night. It is a straightforward setup for a live music evening, focusing on the performance itself rather than anything overly complicated.
