Jack Clarke

Jack Clarke is playing Harry's Soul Station on Friday 20 November, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. He's the only name on the bill, so you'll have him for the whole stretch.

He bills himself as a 'Jazzman', and that's a fair starting point, though the music he plays pulls in a few different directions. The set covers swing, jazz, soul and funk, so it's not just one thing. If you're more of a swing and jazz person, there's plenty of that, and if you're leaning towards soul and funk, you'll find that too. It's a broad enough mix that it doesn't just stick to one corner of the room.

That soul side of things fits the venue, too. Harry's Soul Station is at 35-37 Adelaide Street, NR2 4JD, right in the city centre. It's a spot that lives up to its name, and Clarke's set sits comfortably within that soul and funk territory, even when it's leaning back into the jazz and swing.

Entry is free, so you can just turn up on the night. It runs from 6.30pm through to 8.30pm, and Jack Clarke is the sole act on the bill.
