 For appearances at festivals and his London shows, Reid uses a full band and venues have included The Jazz Cafe, The Borderline, The 100 Club, Dingwalls, The Half Moon and notably an invite to return to Ronnie Scott's in 2009 for a week long residency as part of their 50th anniversary (one of only 6 non-jazz acts to do so).This became Reid's favourite venue and he had residencies there for several years after.In 2012, his album "Live in London", featured an entire set from one of these gigs at Ronnies, and was released with no remixes or overdubs.
