A gig held at The Bristol Fringe on Tuesday 6th February. The event starts at 20:00.
FITR kicks off 2024 with an astonishing line-up of world class improvising musicians. We really are lucky to have these guys come play!
Sentient Beings
Faith Brackenbury - violin
John O'Gallagher - alto saxophone
John Pope - bass
Tony Bianco - drums
This project gathers four strongly individualistic improvising voices from the US and UK for an
exploration of spontaneous composition, developing their collective voice on each performance
of the tour. Blending US saxophonist John O’Gallagher’s cerebral study of 12 tone improvising
and the music of John Coltrane, UK violinist/violist/vocalist Faith Brackenbury’s jazz and
contemporary strings and inventive use of effects, UK bassist John Pope’s energetic jazz, pop
and rock influences and Tony Bianco’s mercurial and octopusian drumming will create a spiritual,
intellectual, powerfully absorbing experience.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
