Alex Ward (clarinet)
Chris Cundy (Bass clarinet)
Dom Lash (Doublebass)
Steve Noble (drums)
Gannets posit an alternative jazz history in which 30’s swing developed straight into a combined form of the free jazz and fusion movements-without any of the intervening decades of subsequent factionalism!
"Gannets were one of the highlights of the London Jazz festival-with their extended improvisations, that lurch between the sublime and the ridiculous” (Time Out)

Plus a solo set from Viv Albertine - The Slits guitarist playing solo songs!
"Very open and honestlyrically and musically. A great mix of organic earthiness and clean industry. Also quite haunting and saying something that matters. Very slight hints of the Slits’ Viv but most definitely on a new path”
(Ian Loughran NZ Radio)
