A genre-defying trio of adventurous musicians, formed out of the
North East of England’s creative musical underground. Fronted by
saxophonist, clarinetist, singer and composer Faye MacCalman &
completed by John Pope (Bass) and Christian Alderson (Drums);
their sound is a dreamlike collision of otherworldly atmospheres,
heartfelt song-writing and energetic off-kilter rhythms. Moving
between instruments and effects to create the illusion of a much
larger ensemble, before peeling back to their raw, improvisational
trio form,

As well as championed by BBC’s Giles Peterson and Tom Robinson,
their recent album ‘Echoes to the Sky’ was selected as one of the
best albums of 2021 by Jazzwise Magazine and the group were
nominated for UK Jazz Act of the year in the 2021 Jazz FM Awards
