“This is music that defies classification and rightly so. More than classical, more than jazz, filtered through the minds of pioneers from Reich to Ra,” is how one reviewer describes them.
“They are a band for the urban jungle, experimenting with more than just the free jazz label they’ll be filed under.”
Princess Hall spokesman Mike Lang said: “This is another type of event that showcases the Princess as a multi-purpose venue. Give us your support and you will be helping our charity bid to run the building on behalf of the community.”
During their tour of the south west, the quartet will also be playing at Wootton Courtenay Village Hall on 23 September, Wookey Hole Club (24 September), Churchinford Village Hall (25 September), Williams Hall in Stoke St Gregory (26 September), Lydford Parish Hall (2 October), Chilcompton Village Hall (3 October) and East Quantoxhead Village Hall (4 October).
