Pianist Ross Stanley is just about everyone’s first call these days, leading to work recently with US sax giant Seamus Blake.
Bassist Riaan Vosloo leads his acclaimed 12‘s Trio, and collaborates with the likes of Nostalgia 77, Keith Tippett, and Richard Fairhurst
Drummer Tim Gilles won the Daily Telegraph Young Composer of the Year Award in 1992 at the age of 12 and has gone on to work with Stan Sulzmann, Iain Ballamy, Julian Arguelles, and Tom Arthurs as well co-leading his award winning group Fraud with saxophonist James Alsop

This gig was originally booked for April 1st (not a Fool’s day jape either!) but was moved to this date to accommodate the venue revamp, so pin back your lugholes for a right earful of the mighty powerful sax sounds of Ed Jones!
