Brecon Jazz Festival Hot Club Gallois

Their irresistible mix of fiery violin, lyrical vocals, virtuosic guitar and stomping bass has thrilled crowds around the British Isles. There set contains Django Reinhardt classics, Swing flavoured jazz standards and some Hot Club Gallois originals. From gypsy to jitterbug, ballads to bolero, Hot Club Gallois will transport you to the swirling dance halls and gypsy camps of Paris in the 1930's and 40's. https://www.hotclubgallois.com/ Facebook hotclubgallois https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XymZbvzTl_E https://youtu.be/bRq7ci_N5CE?si=BPfE7ywgZYDEnYPJ XENIA PORTEOUS - Violin Fast and furious improvisation on a knife edge is Xenia's idea of a fun night out. Her fledgling career to date has included several TV and radio credits including the BBC, ITV and S4C. She's performed in some great venues like the 02 in London and the Royal Albert Hall, and plays regularly in a number of musical styles from classical to disco. Although Xenia grew up with the violin she didn't study at music college, believing the pressure of earning a living from music would take away the joy of playing. In 2013 in a kind of pre-mid-life crisis she resigned from a lucrative finance job and escaped to South America for 6 months where she realised that music was too important not to be the focus of her life.

Aidan Thorne and Jason Ball: Poems of a Space CAM35 with guest support from Toby Hay

With the support of Noson Allan we are thrilled to be hosting this show: Poems of a Space. This is the second album from the guitarist Jason Ball and bassist Aidan Thorne. All of the compositions on this album were written, arranged, recorded and mixed by the duo. The concept of the album was to invoke nostalgia, rekindle a memory of a time and/or place. The pieces are engulfed in a fog of guitar ambience and measured 6 string bass textures. As with their previous release, Archwilio’r Traddodiad | Exploring the Tradition there is an emphasis on experiences within the Welsh landscape. The song Banc Y Celyn, refers to the hill overlooking Aidans home in Powys. And the track Clouds, was written after a hike up the Sugar Loaf near Abergavenny. Deeply rooted in jazz, the style carefully glides between written and improvised elements. Some of the compositions were realised and refined from recordings of loose jam sessions. One may hear nods to influences from 70’s ECM records such as Terje Rypdall or Bill Frizell. “……. A fantastic deep dive into lesser-known Welsh folk tunes” Archwilio’r Traddodiad | Exploring the Tradition Jude Rodgers, The Guardian “An unforgettable musical experience” **** Ian Mann, Jazzmann Blog “……… a beguiling instrumental set that transmogrifies folk songs into delicate, exploratory improvisations. Throughout, combining a resonating bowed bass with guitar work redolent of John McLaughlin on Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way.
