Concert – Ralph Porrett Jazz Trio
May 6
We are thrilled to welcome Ralph Porrett – guitarist, singer, and songwriter on the UK jazz scene, for his first performance at Tettenhall College on Tuesday 6th May 2025, 7pm!
Known for being featured among the five finalists in BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020 and 2022, as well as for his melodic guitar improvisation and distinctive songwriting, Ralph masterfully blends jazz harmony with a singer-songwriter’s storytelling sensibility. For this special performance, he teams up with drummer and electronic artist Tim Davies to present a stunning collection of brand-new music.
Biography:
Ralph crafts intricate yet deeply emotive music, drawing inspiration from artists like Sting, Bon Iver and Ben Howard.
A finalist in BBC Young Jazz Musician (2020 and 2022), Ralph is the only guitarist to have reached this stage, performing original compositions at Cadogan Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall, both broadcast on BBC Four. His playing fuses the lyricism of Mike Walker and Bill Frisell with the atmospheric depth of contemporary influences such as John Mayer and Mk.gee, creating a sound world that moves effortlessly between genres.
Ralph’s versatility has led him to perform at the Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, and major UK jazz festivals. He has also played for His Majesty the King at Westminster Abbey, and for the Prime Minister at Chequers Court and 10 Downing Street.
Following a series of singles throughout 2024, Ralph will release his debut album later this year.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of fresh, genre-blurring sounds from one of the UK’s most exciting rising talents!
