2019 NEWS

After a very amazing summer where I married the incredible Denise Kwan and travelled around Thailand I am looking forward to the start of some very fun projects this autumn :)

I am really excited to collaborate with the amazing young trumpet player Miguel Gorodi at London's beloved Con Cellar on the 1st November. It will be awesome to return here and I am excited about writing some new music for this as well as playing some of Miguel's wonderful music, some new ones too apparently.

I have a feature at the London Jazz Festival in November for a new project I am starting with one of my favourite young musicians on the UK scene- the amazing vocalist Miriam Ast. I am writing some new music for this festival gig specifically for this line-up and am really looking forward to seeing where it might lead! Come and hear these gigs if you can.

The recording session was a great chance to document some of the music from the tour and I will also be sharing some footage from the session soon.

Thanks to all of the wonderful musicians involved in this project, audiences that came out to listen to the gigs, the Arts Council England for funding the tour and Tristram Smith for filming our gig at The Geldart.

It was a great pleasure to invite Pablo across from Cologne to join us and we hope to follow-up with more concerts next year so watch this space.
