And just like that, mjf2026 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 playing the first set (8-8:45pm), the stage is then open for musicians of any level to get up and play a tune or two with the band and other jammers (9:15-11pm). 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!
