MWR&BC XMAS GATHERING With The JON AMOR TRIO & BELLA COLLINS…

To Celebrate the Clubs 12th Anniversary XMAS Gathering we bring back to The Muse 

JON AMOR TRIO (JA3)…

They return to The Muse after playing a blinding set at our club’s 12th Birthday Gathering back in May —

The Jon Amor Trio, are a powerhouse trio founded in 2023 out of a shared love of blues, funk, and fearless improvisation. Combining high-energy performances with spontaneous musical chemistry, the trio have quickly built a reputation across the UK and Europe, drawing comparisons to the likes of Cream, Little Feat, and John Mayer.

The trio is fronted by Jon Amor, known throughout Europe and North America for his acclaimed work with The Hoax before establishing himself as a formidable solo artist in his own right. Amor has shared stages with Van Morrison, Buddy Guy, and Billy Bragg, and has recorded with Robert Plant.

Completing the line-up are bass virtuoso Jerry Soffe — whose credits include Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Larry Garner, John Etheridge, and Louisiana Red — and dynamic drummer Tom Gilkes, who has toured and recorded with Marc Ford (Black Crowes), Elles Bailey, Muddy Manninen (Wishbone Ash), Wille & The Bandits, John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis), and Ian Siegal himself.

They deliver an explosive blend of deep blues tradition, funk-driven grooves, virtuoso musicianship, and fearless improvisation. The result is a live show packed with energy, soul, spontaneity, and world-class musicianship.
