The Will Barnes Quartet will play in Presteigne as part of their ‘Source of the Severn’ tour.

They will perform at The Assembly Rooms in Presteigne on Saturday, February 1 at 8pm.

Doors will be open from 7.30pm and there will be live liquid visuals from Erin Hughes

Join the quartet for the second leg of their ‘Source of the Severn’ tour this Autumn and Winter. 

Presenting songs from their acclaimed album, which is an exploration of the rugged landscape of Mid Wales and the Marches. 

They will be joined by skilled landscape artist Erin Hughes, providing a captivating live visual show to accompany the quartet’s performance, igniting the imagination of the audience, and making this a performance not to be missed.

Will Barnes (guitar) is joined by James Batten (drums), Jack Gonsalez (piano) and Clovis Phillips (bass) – a tight collective of highly experienced jazz instrumentalists from rural Wales. 

Expect music that reflects the rural isolation of their home with roots that penetrate bebop, post-bop and contemporary jazz. Original compositions are punctuated by inventive reworkings of pop, rock and jazz standards for an eclectic evening of improvised music.

As well as the immersive live visuals, Erin has created nine original pieces in response to the music utilising her meticulously hand-marbled papers as her artistic palette to skilfully craft collages that emulate the traditional artistry of Pietre Dure.

Tickets are £15 and there are a limited number of £10 tickets for under 25’s.

They are available at The Workhouse Gallery, Presteigne or online at wegottickets.com/event/639402
