Acclaimed trumpeter Hugh Pascall brings his quintet of star musicians back to Peggy's Skylight to present brand new music alongside choice standards and selections from his two albums as bandleader.

An award-winning trumpeter and composer, Hugh studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at the Paris Conservatoire, graduating with a 1st class BMus in Jazz and LRAM diploma. In February 2023 he was elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM) by the Academy's honours committee in recognition of a significant contribution to UK jazz.
In spring 2022 his quartet completed a 20 date tour of the UK in support of his debut album Borderlands, to critical acclaim. Following this the band toured again in the Autumn of 2022 as a quintet with renowned saxophonist James Allsopp completing the classic front line of trumpet and tenor. They embarked on a further 20 dates as a quintet around the UK and Ireland in 2023, recording their latest album Viewfinder in the summer, with a sold-out concert at The Pizza Express Jazz Club ending the year. As a featured sideman Hugh's performed and recorded with a huge variety of artists, playing at festivals and jazz venues across the country and throughout Europe.
Recent projects include recording with guitarist Peter Bernstein as a member of the David Ferris Septet, recording with Jacqui Dankworth and the BBC Big Band, and performing in Europe with The Last Poets. He's also currently a member of Tony Kofi's Inside Straight and of rising star guitarist Aidan Pope's Octet.
