Name: Ali Watson Quartet
Start: 2025-03-02T19:00:00+00:00
Location: 11 Railway Street, NE4 7AD Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Originally hailing from the Highlands, growing up in Glasgow and studying in London, 25-year-old bass player Ali Watson has recently been making waves with his quartet comprising an all star band of Glasgow musicians: saxophonist Matt Carmichael, pianist Alan Benzie and Greg Irons on drums. After releasing their debut album in November 2024, Watson is excited to present new, freshly polished material.
With influence from contemporary jazz, Scottish folk and 20th century impressionist classical music, the band quietly transcends
traditional genres to produce a set of often complex, yet accessible music comprising lyrical melodies and thoughtful improvisations.
