Experience Gregory Groover Jr. live on August 2nd

Gregory Groover Jr. will be performing at Peggy’s Skylight in Nottingham on August 2nd, 2026. Groover Jr. is a contemporary jazz organist and vocalist, known for a sound deeply rooted in the tradition of Jimmy Smith and Les McCann, but incorporating elements of soul, funk, and blues. His performances frequently feature improvisation and a strong emphasis on groove-based arrangements. He has released several albums to critical acclaim within the modern jazz scene.

Peggy’s Skylight is a relatively new venue in Nottingham, opening in 2022. It's situated above the Flying Horse Walk shopping arcade and aims to recreate the intimate atmosphere of classic American jazz clubs. The space was formerly unoccupied for several years prior to extensive refurbishment undertaken by its owners, focusing on acoustics and creating a dedicated listening environment. It regularly hosts both established and emerging jazz musicians from the UK and internationally, prioritizing live music performance. The venue is designed with a mid-century modern aesthetic and features a bar service alongside its performance space, aiming to provide a complete experience for attendees focused around quality music.
