Opening Night

First Set: 7.30pm

Hermine Deurloo harmonica, Gwilym Simcock piano and Mike Walker guitar

The two founder members of the much loved group “The Impossible Gentlemen” have established a unique rapport through their love of music of all kinds, from rock to classical, jazz and folk. These extraordinary improvisational talents explore a rich harmonic world that is highly accessible, emotionally engaging and often jaw-dropping. They met Hermine Deurloo at the Ambleside Days Festival and found an instant musical rapport. This is a new trio with much to explore.

Hermine Deurloo harmonica, Gwilym Simcock piano and Mike Walker guitar.

Second Set: 9.00pm approx.

Tim Garland saxophones, Gwilym Simcock piano and Asaf Sirkis drums.

Many will recognise Grammy-award-winning saxophonist Tim Garland from his long tenure with Chick Corea, Gwilym Simcock from his many years with Pat Metheny and Asaf Sirkis as the drummer also with Soft Machine. Garland’s association with the prodigiously talented and much-praised Simcock goes back a long way. Both share a broadly similar musical approach, informed by a blend of fusion, folk, and classical forms. The formidable Sirkis, a drummer and percussionist with a well-deserved reputation as one of the best in the business, seems at home in any environment, but here he masterfully employs a bespoke kit of Middle Eastern frame drums which are perfect for this ambience.
