EAST is a six day festival showcasing the best of culture in East London.

I've been invited to take part in this festival by playing 10 gigs in the 6 days. Phew!

This tour is organized by the Vortex jazz club (with whom I've worked a lot- most notably on the release of the Portico Quartet debut album) and top-notch jazz7world promoters, Serious.

On this tour and at all the venues I will be in excellent musical company. All the gigs are alongside Olivia Chaney (multi-instrumentalist and beautiful singer who explores folk music from around the world) and Ayana Witter-Johnson (cellist/singer/composer- amazing). Check out myspace.com/oliviachaney and myspace.com/ayanawitterjohnson to hear more...

The tour is of eclectic and unusual venues such as the Museum of London and Wilton Music Hall. All gigs are free entry.

I'm excited to be a part of this and hope to see you at one or all of the gigs!
