Hannah Marshall works & plays in music, sound, audio-visual, performance and teaching.​ A 'Cellist, involved in improvisation and experimental music her playing makes pathways into noise and micro-tonality, as well as standard harmonic aspects of the 'Cello, finding spaces where melody, texture, rhythm & tonality blur. She plays at times with traditional sensibility, and at others times treats the instrument as a collection of parts to be re-analysed.

Pete Judge is a Trumpeter with BBC Jazz Award winners Get The Blessing, ambient-jazz-minimalist duo Eyebrow, cello-and-trumpet duo JOW, and acoustic jazz quartet Uphill Game, as well as multi-instrumentalist with chamber-folk trio Three Cane Whale,  “Pete Judge is a Bristol music phenomenon” (BBC Radio 3's Late Junction).
