The UK’s best kept piano secret, Dom
Pipkin, presents his solo show tracing the
wonderful and colourful world of New
Orleans piano, told through the stories of
the great players, and magical times they
lived through - jazz, blues, the rhythm and
blues, the birth of rock and roll, and the
world of funk and soul.
For the full New Orleans experience why
not stay afterwards for the screening of the
2013 film by Lily Keber ‘Bayou Maharajah’
which explores the life and music of New
Orleans piano legend James Booker, the

4 The Cheltenham Trust

man Dr. John described as “the best black,
gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New
Orleans has ever produced.” Illustrated
with never-before-seen concert footage,
rare personal photos and exclusive
interviews, the film paints a portrait of this
overlooked genius.
About Dom Pipkin: With a style developed
from his love of the New Orleans piano
professors Professor Longhair, James
Booker and Jon Cleary as well as the jazz
greats of Errol Garner and Otis Spann,
Dom’s formidable talent and reputation has
led him to work with artists including Ray
Davies, Guy Barker and Paloma Faith as
well as regular gigs at Ronnie Scott’s and
the legendary Black Gardenia Club in
Soho. His show is exceptional and will
guarantee to brighten the darkest of winter
afternoons.

Edwina’s beautifully written songs, charming

and Van Morrison as well as her own gigs
playing stages everywhere from Glastonbury
Festival to The Royal Albert Hall.
Dividing her time between the UK and
America, Edwina’s second home is Nashville
