A firm favourite of the UK scene, this much-loved group features the original music and staggering virtuosity of violinist Adam Summerhayes and pianist David Gordon.
The brainchild of their witty and engaging frontman and cellist Chris Grist, the group also features the silvery melancholia of accordionist Eddie Hession and the immense power of Richard Pryce’s double bass playing.
Their outstanding collection of original melodies are sometimes transcendentally beautiful, hypnotic and seductive, often light-hearted, and occasionally brilliantly amusing.
The band’s trademark climaxes have a fierce and frenzied energy that drives the players beyond the known laws of music and of instrumental virtuosity.
