Orfic at The Canteen
See event details

A gig held at The Canteen on Sunday 5th December. The event starts at 22:30.


Free entry!* Orfic is a high energy project made up of musicians entrenched in the Bristol music scene, featuring saxophonist Sophie Stockham (Dakhla Brass, Sefrial), trumpeter Pete Judge (Get the Blessing, Three Cane Whale), drummer Matt Brown (Run Logan Run, Dakhla Brass) and double bassist Chris Jones (We Are Leif, Andy Hague Quintet). Each performance is a muddying of the boundaries between structure and freedom using original compositions and some of the music of other key improvisers as a springboard from which to explore and interact. With a pinch of punk attitude, Orfic performs their own strong grooves and engaging melodies as well as music from the likes of Johnny Dyani, Monk and Joshua Redman, drawing from a myriad of genres and cultures and presenting them with clear and coherent intent. *£5 after 9:30pm
