Acts

Quartet Con Alma - Cuban Dance

Few musical influences have played such a significant and consistent a role in jazz as those of Latin America. Cubop was the first revelation. It was the hip sound of 1950s New York, as migrant musicians from Cuba and Puerto Rico started playing with the bebop originators. Then, the sounds of samba and bossa nova entered the scene, and a new craze for bossa jazz took over.Quartet Con Alma derive their name from the Dizzy Gillespie composition ‘Con Alma’. Exploring the breadth of latin jazz, this piano quartet play the music of, and take inspiration from the likes of Horace Silver, Tom Jobim, Sergio Mendes, Chick Corea, The Jazz Crusaders, Tania Maria and Ray Bryant. Whether cooking on ‘Cubano Chant’, relaxing on ‘Poinciana’ or grooving on ‘Come With Me’, this music from the Latin Quarter is always performed Con Alma…“with soul”…

David Sye - Spoken Word

Joining us for our spoken word offering is a very special guest, David Sye. David has been involved in music all his life; the son of Frankie Vaughan, David is a well-known British musician. Singer for No Mad Karma and King Hippy bands. After strong experiences such as serious illness, and meeting with Mother Theresa, he survived the war in Bosnia where he was a DJ and more recently witnessed the tragic death of his famous cousin, Amy Winehouse, his experiences have been life-changing. Expect deep insights into the world around us delivered in spoken word, backing tracks and storytelling and with new music on the way later in the year, we might get a sneak peak into some new material

Phil2 - Blues/acoustic

Kicking off the festival proceedings will be two of our favourite local musicians, and dare I say 'legends'? Phil Wildboar and Phil Atkinson, otherwise known as 'Phil2' (I'm still not convinced I'm not having my leg pulled). We can expect bluesy classics from these two, a touch of Tom Waits rasps and guitar craftsmanship to help ease us into a delightful summer afternoon.
