Commissioned in 2022, its premiere performance garnered a standing ovation and a host of acclaim. This year, Fergus McCreadie reprises this landmark project with his trademark folk- infused themes ebbing and flowing between assertive and unrestrained horns and powerful percussive grooves. His regular trio of David Bowden (bass) and Stephen Henderson (drums), are joined by drummer (Graham Costello) and three saxophonists (Matt Carmichael, Harry Weir, Paul Towndrow) plus the stellar trumpeter Laura Jurd. Expect improvisatory adventures combining spontaneous jazz and folkloric influences from some of the best players on the scene.

McCreadie continues to push the boundaries of jazz, affirming his place as a visionary artist in the modern musical landscape
