Dom Pipkin & The Ikos

Saturday 16th December, 8pm. Doors open 7pm.
The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne

One of Europe’s most authentic and spirited  blues and jazz piano players “The soul of New Orleans in the UK” Dom Pipkin is at the forefront of musicians keeping the classic New Orleans sound alive.  His world-travelled band The Ikos have taken New Orleans funk and blues and created from it their own unique sound and songs.

Pipkin’s unmistakable brand of boogie pays homage to greats such as Dr John, Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, and particularly James Booker, and that rich tapestry shows up in his own compelling songwriting. The Ikos, bring those New Orleans influences to life so vibrantly that they regularly pack out the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Club in London.
