Jaz Delorean at the Holywell Music Room

Jaz Delorean is an Oxford-based songwriter and pianist. The songs that he sings and plays on the piano are tender observations of our fragile and sometimes twisted existence, taking inspiration from bar-room piano players of the Old West, the mournful melodies of his Cypriot ancestry and a patchwork of comic and tragic stories from growing up around a travelling funfair. Strange things happen in dreams, but stranger things happen in waking life, and Jaz has never shied away from baring his tattered soul to anyone willing to listen. He’ll pull at your heartstrings and get you dancing to the rhythms of his fingers, before skulking back into the blackness behind the carnival lights.
