Paul Obermayer, is a member of the unpredictable group Furt (an electronic duo with cross-genre composer Richard Barrett), with Phillip Marks and Rex Casswell they form the trio BARK! of which it’s been said:”Their urgent interplay is so close and definite you really cannot tell who’s playing what”… or again “that the music is so full of blood and bone and muscle, bursting with sensual, visceral sonic desire".

Tony Bevan is one of the few saxophonists who include the bass saxophone in their selection of reeds. It takes an extremely skilled and imaginative musician to coax the wide spectrum of sounds available from this monster instrument. Tony has worked with Derek Bailey, Sonny Murray, Jon Lloyd ... He runs the Foghorn Label.
