The Nairobi trio are no strangers to the Globe Theatre, having appeared at previous Manawatu Jazz Festivals and on concert tours of New Zealand. Since their inception in 1989 they have earned a reputation as New Zealand's favourite Jazz entertainers; 10 Albums, thousands of gigs, hundreds of festival appearances, dozens of international tours; their unique sound traverses a broad palette which they employ to deliver an effortless blend of reimagined standards and originals all performed in their inimitable way.

Placing their audience at the center of their performance, the Nairobi trio are never more at home than on stage, where they invite you into their world to make memories rich in musical story-telling, imagery and connectivity, and have fun along the way.

The Nairobi trio are Richard Adams (Violin/ Vocals), John Quigley (Guitar/ Vocals) and Aaron Coddel (Double Bass).
