Great to have the oportunity to play with old friends and bandmates from La Criatura. Always a pleasure to make music and hang out with them. I also guarantee you won’t hear a Christmas carol! If anyone happens to be in Madrid come on down.

Artist Natalia Black drew this sketch of Philip Jeck during the concert of him and The Merseyside Improvisers Orchestra at The Capstone last month. Amazing! With just a few lines she’s captured him as he plays.

Great to be playing again for the fantastic dancers from LIC for their monthly jam.
The last jam of the year!
A pleasure to be able to improvise with them.
Any musicians who are interested in attending, please contact me for details. The jam lasts 2 hours, 3pm til 5pm.

Playing with the brilliant saxophonist Nick Branton on Friday, we’ll be improvising with poets and whoever else turns up! Come along, it should be a crazy night and it’s for a good cause.
A couple of photos during the soundcheck before our gig with Philip Jeck last week at The Capstone theatre, Liverpool. Many thanks to Philip for collaborating with the orchestra. It was truly awesome! Really looking forward to continuing the collaboration in 2018. Exciting times! Photos by guitarist Ian Simpson.
