A bona fide Brixton legend (and far beyond). As a member of the trail-blazing band, Cymande, Bammi is featured in the documentary, “Getting It Back”, and has been a stalwart of Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for over 20 years.
Bammi has played with everyone from Paul Simon, Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela to Aswad as well as rocking our Mambista events at Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses for the last 2 summers. It is no exaggeration to say that Bammi is a very special musician with a career that stretches back to the Windrush generation*. We have to honour and cherish that unique musical history while we can; and it’s hard to beat a session of vintage jazz, ska and reggae on a warm Summer’s evening under the stars!

Come rain or shine, as we can take shelter in the greenhouse and under marquees if the weather is unkind to us.
Join us for a wonderful session of seriously good sounds!

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.
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.
