Terry Reid

Venue: The Jazz Cafe
🎟️ Tickets Here
“There are only three things happening in England. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Terry Reid.” – Aretha Franklin, 1968.
Terry Reid is the rock ‘n’ roll legend you don’t want to miss. Once hailed by Aretha Franklin as one of the most important voices in music, Reid has built a career as one of the greatest vocalists of his time. From touring with The Rolling Stones at the age of 15 to sharing the stage with Cream and Fleetwood Mac, Reid’s journey is rock history in motion. Famously turning down frontman roles with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple to forge his own unique path, his solo albums like “River” and “Seed of Memory” highlight his signature progressive funky folk blues style that’s stood the test of time.
With his music experiencing a resurgence, there’s no better moment to see Terry Reid live at the iconic Jazz Cafe. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his sound, his performances are moments to be treasured.
Don’t miss this chance to witness a living legend in one of London’s most intimate venues. It’s rock ‘n’ roll history right before your eyes!
