Caroline Kraabel (sax), Neil Metcalfe (flute) duo
The first pairing of the afternoon sees two major players from the London scene who have that rare ability to mix melodic invention with both playfulness and a deep sense of soul.
Lullula – Armorel Weston (voice), Kay Grant (voice), Jim Dvorak (trumpet), Otto Willberg (bass/voice) quartet
The name is taken from the woodlark Lullula, known for its heavenly song, and this group use free improvisation to create a joyous and delightful sound, never complacent and full of surprises.
John Russell (guitar) , Alex Ward (clarinet) duo
For the last set we have renowned guitarist / improviser John Russell with the ever surprising Alex Ward. They will be deciding on the day what instruments to use so it could be a mix of acoustic and electric guitars with Alex’s clarinet somewhere in there as well. It might be all acoustic or electric. Whatever the instrumentation it will be a lot of fun!
