Safehouse Open Session 06.04.2022 - not yet confirmed on the Safehouse Website
8pm £3 / £2 members, This will be at the Rose Hill.
Safehouse is a regular open session, which is open to all musicians of all levels to improvise, sonically, in a conversational way. We have been using a format in which participants are picked out to be put into a small group that improvises for 10 minutes or so, while the remaining musicians act as audience, then the next group is formed and so on.
On the edge: 20.04.2022
On The Edge is a regular performance night, where we bring in better-known and sometimes out-of-town musicians and groups who have an emphasis on improvisation in their work. We try to precede the headliner with an established, local musician or group. The night is opened with the Wildcard Quartet, which is made up of names that have been picked out of a hat at the preceding Safehouse open session.

Guitarist Stian Larsen has for a number of years been recognised as an energetic and highly inventive improviser in the avant-garde music scene in Norway. Both as a solo artist and member of the bands kÖök, KTHXBYE and Pet Zoo, his collaboration with the British reed player Colin Webster and percussionist Andrew Lisle is an exciting exploration of the electric guitar and interplay across musical borders. Their latest studio album came together after a series of concerts on stage in England and Norway and really captures the essence of the trio.
Webster and Lisle’s energetic free jazz meets Larsen’s noise and rock guitar in an exciting interaction that is dynamic, playful and hard-hitting.
Critical acclaim for “Zeal & Preseverance” (2019):
“Zeal and Perseverance captures faithfully the essence of the trio: hard-hitting and dynamic play of pushing and crisscrossing musical borders that visits and reshapes our conceptions of free jazz, rock and noise territories.”
Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts
and
“The trio’s sparring has a punkish, whippet-thin energy, partly due to the lack of double bass, with the aluminium sting of Larsen’s guitar increasing the avant-rock spice in the mix.”
