If you’ve been to any of the previous gigs at The Lescar by members of this trio, including with John Law, Mycorrhiza, or perhaps Roller Trio, or Yana, the brilliant trio of Corey Mwamba, Dave Kane and Joshua Blackmore, you’ll know why we’re truly excited to welcome this brilliant and creative trio to The Lescar. An unmissable gig.
