Putting people and planet above profit is possible

Grow is an independent self-organised creative space, bar, kitchen & takeaway in Hackney Wick which hosts a diverse programme celebrating and nurturing local and international creative talent. It is also part of an ecosystem of studios founded in 2007.

Every Thursday for more than 7 years our house jazz band Stratos, led by the Mercury Prize nominated Rio Kai, have taken us on a voyage through classic, straight ahead, hard bop & Jazz fusion! Stratos features Rio Kai, Jamie Murray & Dom Pusey.

After the first set they open up the jam to jazz musicians who want to get involved! Contact @stratostheband on Instagram if you’re interested in jamming.
