Britannica Dictionary definition of SONOROUS : having a sound that is deep, loud, and pleasant.

Paul Mahon is well known for his guitar session work and performing in Europe whilst based in Dublin. He has credits on Irish radio and RTE. Although a competent performer in many musical styles, he has always had a passion for Jazz that flourished through performing with the Berkshire Youth Jazz Orchestra from 16 years of age through to his late twenties. He has played with the best UK jazz musicians such as Tina May, Peter King, John Parricelli and Jamie Cullum. Now based in Bristol, Paul is always searching for new and creative ways to share his passion for all things musical.

Saxophonist Simon Greening is a familiar figure in the Bristol music scene, playing in several bands - including founding jazz combos Green in Blue and Avellana - arranging workshops and promoting live music. Passionate about music in all forms but with no formal training Simon took up the saxophone as an adult and never stopped playing! Simon likes to collaborate with some of the many talented musicians in the Bristol area who share his musical passions.
