ABOUT THE EVENT
Fergus Quill
Fergus Quill is a composer, arranger and bassist from Leeds. He is an established performer within the city’s live music scene, building a reputation for original compositions that reflect an eclectic spectrum of influences ranging from Sidney Bechet to Boredoms.
For our matinee show, The Fergus Quill Trio, will be playing music from their latest album "¡Blamo!". The Leeds jazz mavericks have produced a record that pays homage to the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and 1970s and in particular, the soundtracks of Italian composer Ennio Morricone.
The tracks merge film theme/soundtrack style music with jazz improvisation, and they will also play extracts from their first album ‘¡Zoop Zoop!’.
Maddy Coombs
Part of the Tomorrow’s Warriors Emerging Artist Programme, Maddy Coombs is a young up-and-coming tenor saxophonist who has played alongside Judi Jackson, Soweto Kinch and Mark Kavuma, as well as leading her own line-up music at Brighton…
