This event has passed

Led by Jean-Paul ‘Bluey’ Maunick, the pioneering British acid jazz outfit continues to push boundaries.

Formed more than 45 years ago, Incognito emerged from London’s thriving jazz-funk scene, drawing inspiration from groups like Gonzalez and FBI. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with music greats including Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Jocelyn Brown.

Expect an electrifying set featuring iconic tracks from their near 20-album catalogue, including hits from Jazz Funk, No Time Like the Future, and best-seller Positivity.

Their undiluted, no-rules jazz sound has made them a global sensation, and this one-night-only performance promises rich arrangement and deep grooves.
