Dom Pipkin’s All-Star New Orleans Trio

Peggy's Skylight
Friday 28 August 2026 | 6.45pm & 9.15pm
Tickets: £16

British piano star Dom Pipkin is accepted as a native in New Orleans – one of the "local" piano players and described by Blues in Britain magazine as "one of the world's greatest exponents of New Orleans piano"

Alongside a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba, Paloma Faith), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as "one of the world's greatest exponents of New Orleans piano".

He first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has gone on to become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed "Piano Night" and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie-woogie festival circuit, having played 1000s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says "I can't hold a candle to this guy".

Pipkin regularly performs and records in New Orleans, and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint , Dr John and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he's in town. In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling song-writing with blues and Big Easy classics that "..cooks up a steaming musical stew that has the crowd dancing and clapping for more" (Classic Rock Blues Magazine).

Dom is bringing his trio to Peggy's Skylight. Long term collaborator's Matt King Smith on bass and Bubu on drums create a tight unit that expands into jazz territory as effortlessly as it stamps out a Louisiana blues – a true cross genre experience, regular heard at Ronnies Scott's and blues and jazz clubs throughout Europe
"Dom's shows are a treat – intimate, moving, funky and lively. A real romp through the heart and soul of New Orleans piano and beyond" –  Kino-Teatr
