ORDER THE BOOK 'Music Improvisation Magic' HERE.
Such a privilege (and a challenge!) to bring together. Read more about the book here.
In short, its guidance on improvisation and band playing, coming out of everything we've done. Lots of colour, light on text and clear, accessible language. Hope you ENJOY!

Live Sessions
​
​​Our Improv sessions are now a monthly fixture at leading community owned venue the Puzzle Hall in Sowerby Bridge. Next session is September 28th. Players and audience very welcome!
We love grassroots music and local venues, working with the Puzzle, as we did previously with the Ferret and Continental in Preston and the Grayston Unity in Halifax, makes us very happy indeed. :)​

2025 continues to be a Massive Year: The end of phase 1 saw the final concerts from the fixed Preston-based band and the launch of phase 2 with the new book, workshops and public outreach. Very excited to see how all of this develops into 2026 and beyond!
​
Going out with an (improvised) bang, the Preston band took a reworked version of the 'Dream of Space' show to the Trades Club - Hebden Bridge , Sunbird Records - Darwen and Preston Jazz Festival. Live recording below
Thanks to all involved.​​​​

Self-Isolating Clouds Film now on Youtube.
After three years we felt the time was right to release this material. We offer it as a place to reflect and remember all that was lost in the pandemic. Recorded under government restrictions in the Harris Institute in March 2021, it features one of the last times this longstanding lineup played together.​​
