Rah! make their Bristol debut with a live recording inside the meditative low light of St Anne’s Church, Greenbank — a resonant space at the heart of Easton.

The group plays entirely improvised music built around shared pulse and repetition rather than fixed songs or melodies. Their sound moves through minimalist rhythm, ambient texture, and slow-burning groove — somewhere between spiritual jazz, kraut energy, and the deep stillness of drone. It’s hypnotic, raw, and emotive.

The band’s members are active participants in Bristol’s vibrant improvised and experimental scene, performing in projects such as Improv Greatest Hits, Community Jam Collective, Freejazz Gachapon at The Dark Horse, The Broken Numbers, Byrfyfyr Free Improv, Elmer’s Arms, and others.

For this day:

- Alice Dyson - violin
- David Croshaw (David/David) - drums
- Pablo Jimenez-Moreno (Imperceptible clouds) - guitar / trumpet
- Paul Anstey (broken numbers) - double bass
- Kathryn Evans - cello
- Waseem Albahri (AWE) - piano

This is not a typical gig but an invitation to witness a living process: a collective jam in the round, where the outcome is unknown and every sound is a discovery.

The evening will be recorded live for Rah!’s first release, due early next year.

Tickets are just £5, supporting the recording costs — all attendees will receive a free digital link once the album is out.
