Really looking forward to a packed July of live music with some incredible musicians! Things kick off on 6th July at the iconic Love Supreme Festival with Atmosfear, the legendary Brit Funk band. Then, to celebrate the release of our new album (out this July), I’ll be performing with a brand new improvising quartet featuring John Pope, John Garner, and Simon Roth in London, and Christian Alderson in Newcastle, with gigs North and South. On 23rd July, Loz Speyer’s new Sun Ra project—featuring members of his Inner Space band plus special guests—makes its debut at The Vortex. To round things off, I’ll be heading to Switzerland to play with Clemens Kuratle’s quintet YDIVIDE at BeJazzSommer, performing music from our latest album The Default, out now on Intakt Records.

I’m playing at The Be-Bop Club this Thursday 13th March with my Avant-Jazz group OUTLINES, with Rebecca Nash, Nick Malcolm, Olie Brice and Andrew Lisle. We’ll be playing tunes from our album and a brand new piece I’ve been working on. 

The new composition, ‘A Fallow Field’ explores the subconscious undercurrents & bubbling underground activity that reveals itself when we slow down. How so much of life can become surface living, trying to keep up with demands (both internal and external). This composition is part of a larger body of work uncovering the hidden corners of both our physical, psychological & ethereal worlds when we take time to be quiet, stop, reflect & process. Watch this space for further updates!
