Riley Stone-lonergan Quartet

Doors/arrival time - 7:30pm Performance begins - 8pmGalway-born saxophonist Riley Stone-Lonergan builds his music around one thing: improvisation.

It’s what drew him to jazz in the first place, and it’s still what drives him, both playing it himself and listening to others do it.He’s perhaps best known as one third of QOW Trio, alongside bassist Eddie Myer and British jazz legend Spike Wells, a drummer who’s shared stages with Dexter Gordon, Roland Kirk, Bobby Wellins and Tubby Hayes.

QOW Trio brings together players from different generations, all rooted in the tradition but pushing at what a sax-bass-drums lineup can do.

Their third album, The Rule of Three, came out on Whirlwind Records in January 2026, drawing comparisons to Rollins for its intense, bluesy improvisation.At Ladbroke Hall, Riley digs into a set of jazz standards with Will Barry, Will Sach and Will Cleasby, three musicians he rates highly, for a night built on spontaneity and serious chops.Presented by Ladbroke Hall.This is an 18+ event
