Experience Julian Nicholas live on June 5th

Julian Nicholas will be performing at Sunrooms2 in Southend-on-Sea on June 5th, 2026. Nicholas is a British guitarist known for his work in contemporary improvised music and free improvisation. His style frequently incorporates extended techniques, prepared guitar, and electronic processing, often resulting in soundscapes that are both textural and melodic. He has collaborated extensively with musicians across various genres, including jazz, experimental rock, and classical music, and is recognised for a highly individual approach to the instrument.

Sunrooms2 is a relatively new, independent music venue located in the Westcliff area of Southend-on-Sea. It operates as part of a wider artistic collective focused on fostering experimental and alternative music scenes. The space itself is designed to provide an intimate setting for performances, prioritising sound quality and a direct connection between artists and audience. Previously operating as a recording studio & rehearsal space, Sunrooms2 transitioned to hosting live events in 2023 with a focus on showcasing emerging and established artists working outside mainstream musical boundaries. The venue’s programming consistently features genres such as ambient, noise, experimental electronic music and avant-garde jazz.
