The Lee Thompson Orchestra will have delighted their fanbase with the announcement they will play a one off Jazz Cafe on January 15th 2016, after recently revealing they are in the process of recording new material.

Lee Thompson was in legendary ska pop band Madness, and formed the orchestra in early 2011, with the group then playing a string of shows across England and Wales to critical acclaim. 

Eventually releasing their first album The Benevolence Of Sister Mary Ignatius in June 2013 and an appearance on BBC2's Later Live with Jools Holland (watch above). Ahead of the show the band took to their Facebook page to ask fans where they would most like to see them perform.
