Arthur Jeffes founded Penguin Cafe in 2009, after bringing together a talented group of musicians including members of Suede and Gorillaz to perform his late father Simon Jeffes’ legacy of world-renowned Penguin Cafe Orchestra music. Soon after he began to create new and unique genre-defying music, with the spellbinding philosophy of his father always in mind.
Outside of Penguin Cafe, Arthur’s composition work has included several shorts and commissions. He worked with Greenpeace and Aardman Animations to compose the soundtrack for Turtle Journey, released in 2020 to high acclaim, to promote the Greenpeace ‘Protect the Ocean’ campaign.
Arthur will be performing solo piano versions of Penguin Cafe music plus other original compositions.

Jeffes’ piano playing is exquisite, being both subtle when it needs to be and full of energy the next, and sometimes I sat there just in awe watching him caress those melodies out of the ivories.”
