Presenting songs from their acclaimed debut album, Source of the Severn, an exploration of the rugged landscape of Mid Wales and the Marches.

Original compositions are punctuated by inventive reworkings of pop, rock and jazz standards for an eclectic evening of improvised music.

The group have also performed at many of the country's top jazz festivals and clubs as well as being invited to perform on BBC Radio 4 Loose Ends. The quartet now embark on leg two of their album tour, taking the project further afield, bringing the border landscapes to urban audiences. A slice of the Marches delivered to your door… Hiraeth!
