And just like that, mjf2025 (it’s 30th anniversary edition) will draw to a close... but not until we go out the only way we know how... one last Wrap Party Jam featuring The Ed Kainyek Quartet.

A legend on the Manchester jazz scene, Ed Kainyek has helped launched the career of many local artists, often giving them their start right here at Matt & Phreds. His own gigs embrace a range of styles from pop and soul to hard swing and Latin.

With the house band consisting of Ed Kainyek (saxophone), George King (piano), Grant Russell (bass) and Colin Lamont (drums), the stage is open for musicians of any level to get up and play a tune or two with the band and other jammers. Whether you’ve been a part of mjf’s line up throughout the festival and fancy one more hoorah, or if you’re a musician who wants to put their mark on the festival, this is for you.

More of a listener than a player? No problem, come and get cosy, and watch the night unfold. With genres surrounding jazz, blues, soul, funk, and pop - anything goes, and anything could happen.

Did we mention it’s a bank holiday…? See you on the dance floor!
