Eden Arts Café with Jelly Jazz

A mighty rampant excursion of soul, funk, jazz, latin, brazilian, Afro-funk, hip hop and all things funky live at the Eden Project.

The Arts Café is a new series of events giving you the chance to chat to some of the artists we work with and enjoy their work, to a backdrop of funky music from the much loved Jelly Jazz crew, the odd live funk band and some very tasty food and drink.

All about Jelly Jazz

Jelly Jazz have been running club nights and concerts in the south west of England for 15 years. Their musical mission is to set dancefloors alight with all things funky. A typical excursion may take in soul, funk, jazz, latin, brazilian, Afro-funk, hip hop, funky breaks from DJs and live bands.

Pete Isaac
Jelly Jazz promoter & resident DJ

Pete Isaac has been DJing for 19 years, with 14 of those being as promoter and resident of Jelly Jazz. After 5 years spinning acid house in the clubbing boom in the late 80's, he returned to his first love of jazz, funk and soul and set up Jelly Jazz in Plymouth, UK.

Griff - Jelly Jazz Resident DJ

Starting to collect jazz dance music and funk whilst a student in Plymouth Griff missed the London jazz dance scene and started stubbornly putting on nights in the student union, to the bemused bafflement of most students. Finally through the Ents officer at the SU he was told about a guy who had just started a funk and jazz night in Plymouth and took his records down in the second week. The following week they decided they needed a name for the night and in a very one-sided brainstorming session, Pete decided to call the night Jelly Jazz.
