Evan Parker
Simply put, Evan Parker is one of the pivotal figures in the
development of late twentieth century musical language, technique and
aesthetics. He has performed in numberless context and invented many
of his own, all characterised by his epoch-defining virtuosity and
pure spirit of exploration. Tonight he plays solo saxophone.

Chris Cutler
A member of Henry Cow, Art Bears, Cassiber and a dozen other bands,
founder of Recommended Records, Chris Cutler has exerted a singular
influence on modern music, characterised by. Tonight Chris takes time
off from his current projects (with Daevid Allen, Hugh Hopper, Heiner
Goebbels et al) to perform his first UK solo in many years, playing
drums and electronics.

Jem Finer
From the commercial success of The Pogues to the artistic triumph of
Score for a Hole in the Ground, Jem Finer's music transcends easy
categorisation and entertains and baffles in equal measure. Tonight's
performance will, typically, be entirely unpredictable: all that is
certain is that elegance and wit will feature prominently.
