Immy Churchill is one of the UK’s most exciting young jazz voices — a vocalist, lyricist and singer-songwriter already making waves across the UK and European jazz scenes. Hailed as a “rising star”, she has performed at the country’s most iconic venues including Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Live, and The Vortex, and tours regularly in Germany and Switzerland.

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Immy has collaborated with leading artists such as Emma Rawicz, Lukas DeRungs, Florian Arbenz, and Greg Osby, with projects leading to acclaimed recording opportunities including Emma Rawicz’s ACT release Chroma. Her creative partnerships continue to flourish, sparking new ventures with Florian Arbenz and Greg Osby while simultaneously developing her own distinctive voice as a songwriter.

Alongside curating The Downstairs Living Room Series at The Vortex Jazz Club, Immy has been steadily building her solo work. Her debut release, Give Me Time To Breathe, will be unveiled in June 2025, marking a new and compelling chapter in her career.

For this special performance, Immy invites you to share an evening of song with her close collaborators Dom Howard (guitar)and Scottie Thompson (keyboard) — both fellow Royal Academy graduates and exceptional performers in their own right. The trio draws on a wealth of influences from jazz, folk, and the singer-songwriter tradition, blending improvisation and poetry into a unique sound-world. Expect an intimate journey through standards, folk songs, and original compositions inspired by John Taylor, Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, and Norma Winstone — all filtered through the group’s ethereal, story-driven approach.
