Few artists can embody the soul of Louis Armstrong quite like Gwyn Jay Allen. His ability to capture the infectious joy, rich tones and effortless swing of the jazz pioneer has taken him from the streets of London to the grandest stages in the world. 

His deep connection to Armstrong’s music led to the creation of ‘I Love Louis’, an album and stage show that has mesmerised audiences worldwide. Featuring collaborations with Grammy-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove and European Jazz Artist of the Year Alex Wilson, the album toured across Europe, the U.S. and beyond, culminating in an extraordinary performance at Louis Armstrong’s House Museum in New York. His command of the stage saw him perform Armstrong’s classics live with the 60-piece BBC Orchestra and Big Band at The London Palladium on Sir Michael Parkinson’s show, bringing a timeless sound to an entirely new audience.

Gwyn’s career reads like a who’s who of musical royalty. His vocals and percussion have graced performances and recordings with Diana Ross, Maxi Priest, Jamiroquai, Basement Jaxx and Herbie Hancock, blending jazz, soul and gospel influences into every note he sings. His rich storytelling, deep gravelly voice and mastery of Armstrong’s signature style have earned him acclaim from Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Jazz Café and the Wigan International Jazz Festival, where audiences were left spellbound by his ability to channel the spirit of Satchmo himself.

Expect a night brimming with Armstrong’s most beloved hits, from the uplifting swing of "Hello, Dolly!" and "When The Saints Go Marching In" to the tender beauty of "What a Wonderful World"

For one night, Boisdale will transform into a smoky New Orleans jazz joint, where the music flows as freely as the good times. Gwyn Jay Allen brings Louis Armstrong’s world to life, not as an imitation, but as a passionate, deeply personal tribute to one of jazz’s greatest figures.
