The final day is dedicated to jazz aficionados, as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, led by Pete Long, dazzles with renditions of Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and more. Before the jazz festivities, audiences can enjoy an afternoon of live music, featuring the London African Gospel Choir, UK jazz legends Claire Martin OBE and Ray Gelato, and the energetic Swinging at the Cotton Club, celebrating the iconic New York City nightclub of the 1920s and 1930s.
