Description
Bloom Sessions is a brand-new monthly music night in the QUAD Cafe Bar. The last Friday of the month.
The Shiva Ensemble is led by saxophonist Arjun Chandrasekar, an emerging artist in the Nottingham music scene and UoN student. Drawing inspiration from styles such as carnatic, jazz fusion, and hip-hop, the band pays tribute to the diversity of musical idioms defined by improvisation and spontaneity.
Lucas Walters and Sam Vickers support Arjun on piano and drums respectively. Having made his professional debut at Ronnie Scott’s in 2025 – among a countless array of other accomplishments – Lucas Walters is one of the most promising and well-established talents of the UK jazz scene. Sam Vickers, a prolific and prominent Nottingham-based jazz artist provides meticulous percussion.
