Tickets in hand. Sorted!!! Have you got yours yet?

Kaleidoscope of Rainbows hits 50 this November at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre. First half? Neil Ardley’s genre-bending masterpiece in full flight. Second half? Binker Golding tearing the roof off with a deep dive into the British jazz that rewrote the rules.

And in December we drop the Abbey Road half speed master 2LP — straight from the original analogue tapes. This isn’t nostalgia, it’s living fire.

To anyone still mumbling that “there’s nothing to do in Chichester”… this is just the ticket!



Sincere appreciation for your support.

✨ This is shaping up to be a special night ✨

We’ll be celebrating not only one of the greatest UK jazz albums of the 70s — Neil Ardley’s Kaleidoscope of Rainbows — but also exploring gems from the same era: Mike Westbrook, Ian Carr, Don Rendell, Henry Lowther and more.

This is more than music. It’s an escape. A journey. A vibe.

🎶 Directed by Scott Stroman, the Guildhall Jazz Orchestra takes the stage with the phenomenal adding his own fire and flair.

Jazz? Yes — but this isn’t polite background jazz. This will challenge your preconceptions, get under your skin, and leave you wanting more.

Nothing would make me happier than a full house for this one.

Kaleidoscope at 50 – A Celebration of British Jazz History

In 1975, composer Neil Ardley unveiled Kaleidoscope of Rainbows—a daring, luminous fusion of jazz, rock, and Balinese scales that reshaped the sound of British jazz forever. Described at the time as “a triumph… inspired… Ardley is in the line of Ellington and Gil Evans in his audacious imagination,” the work has since become one of the most celebrated masterpieces in modern British music.

This November, to mark its 50th anniversary, the piece returns to the stage in spectacular fashion:

Chichester – Minerva Theatre
Saturday 22 November, 7.30pm
Tickets available from Saturday 13 September → cft.org.uk/events/kaleidoscope-of-rainbows-50

London – Guildhall Jazz Festival x EFG London Jazz Festival
Sunday 23 November, 3pm
Milton Court Concert Hall
Free entry | No booking required

Led by Scott Stroman, the acclaimed Guildhall Jazz Orchestra will perform the full work. Expect not only Ardley’s Kaleidoscope of Rainbows in all its technicolour brilliance, but also a deep dive into the jazz treasures of the 60s and 70s—music born from the same era of fearless experimentation, joined by acclaimed saxophonist Binker Golding!!!

Presented in association with Analogue October Records, who are proud to announce the remastered deluxe reissue of Kaleidoscope of Rainbows—releasing this December. Check the new website for details on this release.

A landmark recording. A milestone concert. A rainbow reborn.
