Canalside Sessions // Free // Every Sunday

Experience live global music with master conga player Williams Cumberbache and special guests at Grow’s canalside terrace in Hackney Wick. Set against the serene backdrop of the River Lea, enjoy world-class performances from the pontoon stage while watching boats drift by.

Relax in Grow’s hidden garden terrace, surrounded by greenery, and indulge in hearty homemade dishes from the Brunch or All Day menu. Pair your meal with signature cocktails, organic wine, IPA, lagers, or a range of soft and hot drinks.

With over 30 years in the UK music scene, including collaborations with Goldie and Björk, Williams curates this dynamic weekly event. He blends jazz fusion with the rhythmic grooves of Latin, Brazilian, and African music, often joined by talented guest artists or performing solo.

Whether you're a jazz aficionado or simply seeking a great time with friends and family, these sessions offer high-energy music and inclusive vibes. The event is family-friendly and welcomes dancing!
