Leeds Inspired

Jo Harrop Quartet and Hannah Horton Quartet

24th May 2026
City Varieties Music Hall

Two female leading lights of the UK jazz scene perform as a special double bill as part of the Leeds Jazz Festival.

Internationally acclaimed award-winning jazz vocalist/songwriter Jo Harrop returns to Leeds following her recent UK tour as special guest with Gregory Porter. Known for her intimate, smoky tone, Jo is said to be able to ‘melt even the chilliest of hearts’. Throughout her career she has performed at prestigious venues around the world and has received praise from the likes of Iggy Pop and Jamie Cullum.

Baritone and tenor saxophonist Hannah Horton cited ‘as one to watch in 2026’ has already made an impact both in the UK and further afield. Playing material from her soon to be released album in Spring 2026 Stories on the Wind produced by internationally acclaimed producer Martin Levan – each track tells its own story, carried on a breeze of baritone depth, tenor lyricism and fearless musical interplay. Hannah has performed at many of the UK’s most prestigious stages including Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall and the 606 Club, often to sold-out audiences.
