Nu Establishment with Gary Crosby and Zara McFarlane

Nu Establishment will be joined by Tomorrow's Warriors Co-Founder, Artistic Director, and bassist Gary Crosby - the man behind the legendary Jazz Jamaica – as they serve up an infectious mix of ska, calypso, mento, and Blue Beat with an impulsive jazz influence.

Also joining this very special party set is Tomorrow’s Warriors alumna and vocalist Zara McFarlane.

Zara is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading Black British vocalists, celebrated for her musicianship, expressive vocal authority and significant contribution to contemporary jazz and Black British music. As a singer, songwriter, and composer, she has developed an international reputation for work that connects jazz with Caribbean rhythm traditions, soul, reggae, electronic and contemporary music.

On the stage, Nu Establishment are focussed on just one mission – bringing big vibes and  good times!
