Craig is jazzegorically fantastic, packing a fluid bebop punch and weaving the masters into his playing. Seen Kasabian or Nitin Sawney or been to Blue Note New York? Then you may have heard Craig's top sax lines. Craig mostly fronts Bristol bands that rip between hiphop, breakbeat, DJing, and sweeet jazz - Phantom Ensemble, Baila la Cumbia, Dockside Latin Orchestra, Radio Banska and Dub From Atlantis - and presents his own lauded jam session every Monday.
Craig's concert with house band Tetraphonic and Stroud's finest jammers is sure to be an epic to savour. All jam musicians are welcome to participate throughout.

‘From That Land’ is not merely the title of an exhibition, nor is it a simple answer to a geographical question. It is a condensed essence —a title for an unfolding narrative that branches into millions of stories about what takes place on that land, and what it truly means in the hearts and minds of its people.
Workshop
Thursday 19th November 4-6.30pm

Workshop
Friday20th November 4-6pm
Living organisms, like plants and fungi, produce unique electronic signals and data that, when connected to modular synthesizers and other equipment, can be converted into sound and music: a process called biosonification. With this immersive workshop, you can experiment with those sounds! Suitable for all ages.
