The Necks live in Nottingham

Experience The Necks live on September 7th

The Necks are scheduled to perform at Peggy’s Skylight in Nottingham, United Kingdom on September 7, 2026. The Necks are an Australian instrumental trio known for their improvisational and minimalist compositions. Their music blends elements of jazz, ambient, drone, and experimental rock, often characterized by slow-building structures, subtle textural shifts, and a focus on atmosphere rather than traditional song forms. Formed in Sydney in 1985, the group consists of Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums/percussion), and Lloyd Swanton (bass). They have released numerous albums internationally and maintain a dedicated following due to their consistently evolving live performances.

Peggy’s Skylight is a relatively new jazz club and bar located in the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market. Opened in 2022, it occupies a renovated historic building and quickly established itself as a significant venue for both established and emerging jazz musicians. The space aims to provide an intimate listening environment with a focus on high-quality sound. It's named after the iconic Blue Note club owner Francis Wolff’s wife, Peggy Bunce, and reflects a similar dedication to showcasing innovative music within a welcoming atmosphere.
