Album Launch Tour Day 2

After an incredible first gig at Milestones Jazz Club on Sunday 1st of April, this evening we perform for the second time with Joe Wright at the Amersham Arms in New Cross. Jazz at this venue is promoted by the SE Collective, a community of improvising musicians based in South East London.

This will be the first time that any of us have performed at the venue, and I'm sure that I can speak for everyone when I say we are very much looking forward to it. The room has a great sound, and the audience is always very attentive, making for a fun gig!

In terms of music, expect some edginess and unexpected direction-taking, as we all warm to the music and try to develop across this lengthy series of gigs. Really looking forward to this one, see you there!
