Join us for a special hosted Lotería experience at Oriole on 1st May, taking place in between the first two sets of live music. With a Código 1530 twist, this late-night moment takes inspiration from the traditional Mexican game, similar to bingo, where guests listen closely, mark their cards, and follow the action as each symbol is called live. A host will guide the round from start to finish, bringing energy, rhythm, and a touch of theatre to the table. Along the way there will be a few prizes to win, including a Mini Código 1530 Tequila pack and tasting glasses. The Lotería will be an experience that feels immersive, distinctly Mexican, and full of fun.

We’ll also be serving a special Codigo Paloma that evening:

Codigo Rosa tequila
Lillet Rose
Pamplemousse liqueur
Lime
Pink Grapefruit soda

Hailing from Italy with a home in London, Bandini has been described as “the bastard son of Tom Waits and Cab Calloway”. His musical influences originally came from his creative, musical family.

His grandmother, a former cabaret artist, taught him how to create a stage persona and win the crowd’s attention. His father introduced him to blues and jazz music and his uncle (singer-songwriter for Chantango) introduced him to the art of song writing.

His major influences are diverse, which have led him to fuse jazz, blues, rock and gypsy into a dynamic live show.  This combined with his enigmatic and theatrical stage performances has led him to become one of the most exciting emerging artists in London. 

At Oriole, Bandini will be performing his piano influences, Tom Waits, Dr John, old school Blues, alongside some of his originals combined with a few Italian jazz numbers.

Aisha Khan sings American roots music, Jazz, Blues and Rhythm & Blues of the 1940’s/50’s. With a nod to the glamour and sophistication of a bygone era and over 25 years of experience, coupled with an unrivalled passion for the music, she combines outstanding original material with powerful cover versions and performs them all with class, soul, talent and wit. Equal Parts sultry Jazz chanteuse and Rhythm and Blues belter, Aisha easily communicates heartbreak, joy and a range of emotions in between, continuing to honour the tradition of the true Divas.

Omar Puente

An intimate night with virtuoso Cuban violinist Omar Puente & his trio

with special guest Gwyn Jay Allen

Internationally renowned for his masterful performances in a variety of musical styles, world class violinist Omar Puente is nothing short of a true virtuoso. After establishing himself as an accomplished musician on his native Cuban soil, Omar moved to England in 1997 where he has since played in Europe, the Middle and Far East, the USA and Africa.

Having maintained close links with traditional Cuban music, classical genres and jazz, his latest album ‘Best Foot Forward, is rich with energy, colour, creative arrangements and originality.

Throughout his career Omar has supported and shared the stage with a whole host of other stars; Tito Puente, John Williams, Nigel Kennedy, Courtney Pine and Wynton Marsalis to name a few.

Omar’s many accolades include The Lukas Award for The Classical, Jazz or Folk Act of the Year 2018; a top10 placement for Songline Magazine's Album of the Year; and a nomination for Best Jazz Soloist in the 21st International CubaDisco Fair 2017.

Omar performed two concerts in November 2019 under the title of ‘An Evening for Debbie Purdy’ to honour the memory of his campaigning wife who died in 2014. Both concerts featured his sextet together with special guests.

 ‘Omar Puente’s contribution to 20th and 21st century violin playing has now become legendary. His generous nature, his commitment to good music, his enjoyment of life and his respect for his colleagues are all characteristics which make him a true violin great’–Nigel Kennedy
