Times and Tickets
With his debut EP All In arriving in 2026, Willy Delphia brings a fresh take on jazz-infused house. Performed live by a five-piece band, Delphia's high-energy shows sit at the intersection of a late-night club set and live jazz performance.
Having performed across New Zealand, Australia and the UK, his music has received support from BBC Introducing, NTS, Soho Radio and Somewhere Soul, while Birdsong was featured on Somewhere Soul's New Music Friday. He was also recognised in Arjuna Oakes' Best Emerging Voices from New Zealand for Clash Magazine.
Every Friday and Saturday night from 11.15pm, Ronnie Scott’s presents the Late Late Show, where some of the UK’s finest jazz talent takes to the stage for a late-night blowing session. The music includes a range of music influenced by jazz-funk, soul, R&B and hip hop. A DJ will play sets before and after the live sets.
Most tickets for the Late Late Show will be available at the door if advance tickets have sold out.
Blends jazz house, disco, and indie soul, and it's the kind of song that will make you wanna take out your dancing shoes.
