GoGo Penguin and Daudi Matsiko live at La CLEF, Saint-Germain
On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 20:30 La CLEF, the concert hall of Saint-Germain-en-Laye west of Paris, hosts the British jazz trio GoGo Penguin, which the listing calls one of the big moments of the season. The Manchester power trio, with Chris Illingworth on piano, Nick Blacka on bass and Jon Scott on drums, mixes classical and electronic influences and soon celebrates fifteen years of existence. Their eighth album, Necessary Fictions, from 2025, adds modular synthesizers, a Moog Grandmother and an electric bass, with obsessive loops, rising tension and tempo changes. Opening is the British-Ugandan songwriter Daudi Matsiko, with whispered folk and soul in the line of Nick Drake and Sufjan Stevens. Advance tickets cost 24 to 28 euros, or 20 euros with the concert card. A cinematic instrumental night suits one person well, as the music speaks for itself. «Les petits prodiges (devenus grands !) de la scène jazz britannique débarquent à La CLEF.» Starts 20:30, ends about 23:30.
