Blow the Fuse ‘On Air’ is a series of weekly concerts from the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston. Beginning with Carol Grimes, we will also feature the Deirdre Cartwright Group, trombonist Annie Whitehead, Liane Carroll, British-Cypriot music and dynamic duo Martha and Eve, The Dada Dandies, Alison Rayner’s quintet ARQ, Georgia Mancio and Kate Williams – and more dates and guests are being added… plus there will be interviews and archive film footage.
Each show will be 50-60 minutes long and go live on Thursday evenings at 8pm.

Shows will remain available to view after their premier each Thursday.
We put out a call for Patrons for this series a few weeks ago (the Arts Council funding we received wasn’t enough to match production costs). We’ve had a wonderful response and have achieved our initial 8-show budget. However, we can continue after the first eight, if more people step forward to help.
Want to help us? What do you need to do? Simply hit reply saying ‘I’ll help’.
We’ll send you our bank details and you can make a contribution, however big or small by bank transfer.
If you are able to become a Patron then we’d love to credit you or a loved one on the show. Let us know if you’re happy for your name to be mentioned (or not). We’re making 8 specially filmed shows and we can make more if we have the money!
There is absolutely no pressure or obligation to contribute (good wishes are also lovely!) and we’re also happy to receive questions or suggestions.There will also be an opportunity for you to donate during the shows.
Watch out for Blow the Fuse ON AIR and see some of you at the Electric Landladies gig next Sunday eve.
Keep supporting music, theatre and the Arts in general as they’re essential for all the really important areas of life and our hearts.
Sending lots of love
