Charlotte Keeffe on Trumpet and Flugelhorn
Charlotte Keeffe wears her love for free improvisation, jazz and experimental music on her sleeve referring to her instruments as “sound brushes”. Harnessing the power of art for social change is a crucial part of Charlotte’s musical identity. Over the years she has served as Assistant Musical Director of the London Gay Big Band, and has championed gender and diversity equality, as part of the Parliamentary award-winning Women in Jazz Media team.

We put on our Gigs at the Greenhouses to let people hear brilliant music, enjoy our lovely gardens and to raise money so that the community can benefit from BPCG seven days a week.
We are offering a Pay What You Can Scheme for these workshops to make them accessible to everyone. We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some, and the Pay What You Can model offers people who can afford to pay a bit more the chance to support others who can’t.
Getting to us
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
