This came out of the blue, with no warning and in circumstances completely outwith our control. We were due to resume our weekly Thursday night and monthly Sunday afternoon gigs in the new year but clearly that will not be possible now and we therefore have to cancel our January programme while we look for an alternative venue.
We are disappointed and saddened that the Blue Lamp is closing but we will do our very best to move on and continue to present top-quality live jazz for our loyal Aberdeen audience as well as continuing to support jazz education through our community band and youth combo.
We know this has not been an easy decision to make and our heartfelt thanks to Lewis Brown and his family for all their efforts to keep the Blue Lamp going, and of course, to the late and much missed Sandy Brown who made it the great venue and Aberdeen institution it is.

Featuring ‘The Blue Lamp Suite’ by Richard Ingham and a further three tracks, this album was recorded in the Blue Lamp just before lockdown. Thanks to Aberdeen City Council Creative Fund for enabling us to commission the suite and record this album. Huge thanks to the dearly missed Sandy Brown, who sadly passed away recently and is missed by all throughout Scotland in the jazz and wider musical community.
