WHAT’S ON

Having "garnered comparisons with the greats" (Jazzwise), Eddie Gripper is rapidly making a name for himself in the UK Jazz Scene. Born and raised in Burford, he moved to Cardiff to study Jazz Piano at the University - graduating in 2021. He has worked with many great jazz artists, such as Alex Merritt, Yuri Golubev, Huw Warren and Iain Ballamy and continues active work as a performer within Wales and the South-West of England. His debut album, 'Home', released on the London label 'Ubuntu', has received highly favourable press coverage and he will be touring nationally with his band in 2024.

Nick Kacal has been active on the London music scene since 1998, playing predominantly jazz and acoustic folk, occasionally touring to places such as Cape Verde, France and Spain.  He formed his own group, Guerillasound, releasing a CD in 2008 and touring successfully in Japan. In the last few years, his science and engineering background in Electroacoustics has led to him increased work as a recordist, mix engineer and producer, with a base in his own small mix and tracking studio - Guerilla Sound Recordings - http://www.guerillasound.co.uk
