News:
We’re recording a mini-album of the Ensemble on June 24th with Jonathan Scott at the University of Bristol music department.
Really grateful to the Arts Council of England, South Glos Resettlement Programme, and the Nisbet Trust for their recent grants.
We’ll be launching some short courses this summer for beginner guitarists, drummers and keyboardists from the asylum-seeking community.
We’re always on the look-out for skilled and experienced musicians to lead workshops in traditional musical styles – particularly those with experience of seeking asylum. Please do get in touch if you can offer a session, or know anybody who can.
