Doors & bar 7.30pm. Performance 8.30pmThe musicians in this, innovative and exciting quartet draw on a depth of experience in a wide range of music styles, from jazz and blues, to folk and country music.
Playing original music written by all four members of the group, their music is at times melodic, atmospheric and reflective, but also rhythmically infectious and energized.
Sax and flute player, Pete Stacey, worked for many years as a musical director and composer in multi-cultural theatre and dance productions.
His ‘Concerto for Bansuri’, written for the legendary Indian flautist, Hariprasad Chaurasia, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, was short-listed for the British Composers Awards.
A subsequent collaboration with celebrated sitarist, Nishat Khan, was featured in the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Pete has also collaborated with Radio One DJ, Bobby Friction, creating music for orchestra and decks.
Lyrical guitarist, Andy Parry, and bass-player, Barry Wise, are familiar to audiences in west Wales. They are joined by Sicilian drummer and percussionist, Paolo Pecoraro, who studied jazz performance in Rome and whose playing is influenced by the rich folk culture of Sicily ‘where African rhythms wash ashore’.
