Experience Jim Rattigan live on June 25th

Jim Rattigan will perform at the Vortex Jazz Club in London on June 25th, 2026. Rattigan is a British jazz guitarist known for his distinctive style blending traditional jazz guitar with elements of blues, folk and improvisation. His playing often features intricate fingerstyle techniques and a lyrical approach to melody, drawing comparisons to artists like Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass while maintaining a uniquely British sensibility. He frequently leads ensembles featuring both original compositions and interpretations of jazz standards.

The Vortex Jazz Club, located in Dalston, London, has been a significant fixture in the city’s jazz scene since its founding in 1989. Originally established as a cooperative venture by musicians, it quickly became renowned for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to showcasing both established names and emerging talent across the spectrum of jazz – from mainstream to avant-garde. The club has hosted internationally acclaimed artists alongside local performers, fostering a reputation for high-quality music and a welcoming environment for both musicians and audiences. It operates as an independent venue dedicated to supporting live jazz performance and education. The Vortex relocated to its current premises on Church Street in 2005 following a fire at its original location.
