About:
Guitarist Aidan Pope, winner of the 2025 Roma International Jazz Contest, brings his octet to the Vortex to perform his suite 'In Between Lands'. Aidan's playing has stood out to critics as "fluid and musical, a modern approach to the jazz guitar, never derivative and a personal, bright, articulated, constantly evolving sound”. The band features some of the UK's best jazz musicians and aims to combine the London and Birmingham scenes.
