About Shipmans
Shipmans is the latest venue to welcome Flamingo Jazz Nights, and it's also one of Northampton’s oldest pubs. A public house has stood on this site since the early-to-mid 1700s! Over the centuries, the pub has gone through various transformations, including name changes, and today it’s well known locally for its signature cocktails.
With its cosy atmosphere, Shipmans offers an ideal setting for intimate solo and duo jazz performances. The jazz nights are held in The Drapery Room, which is perched above one of Northampton’s busiest streets, yet still offers a peaceful and intimate spot to enjoy an evening of live jazz music.
Thanks to Shipmans, we’re bringing live jazz music right into the heart of Northampton. So why not come along, enjoy the music, and sip on a classic Shipmans cocktail?
About Bruce Carson
Bruce is a breath of fresh air on the jazz scene. Based in Bedford and entirely self-taught, he brings over 20 years of musical experience to the stage with a sound that’s both timeless and uniquely his own.
Blending rich vocals with masterful piano playing, Bruce channels the spirit of legends like Erroll Garner, Nina Simone, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. His performances are never just recitals, they're living, breathing moments of musical expression.
Whether he's performing solo in an intimate setting or part of his band, Rouge 92, Bruce’s authenticity, passion, and artistry make him impossible to ignore.
