We're thrilled to present contemporary jazz quartet Di-Cysgodion (dee-khus-god-ee-on), led by Welsh bass player/composer HUW V WILLIAMS. Making waves in the capital and touring the North following their appearance at London's Vortex Jazz club and a collaboration with Laura Jurd.

The line up consists of Mike De Souza and Billy Marrows both on electric guitar, Jay Davis on drums and Huw V Williams on electric bass. Williams goes back to his rock roots with this instrumentation to explore the sonic pallet from the view of a jazz improvisor/composer.
Having previously led projects with no harmony instruments, Huw decided to have a group which deals with harmony head on, exploring dense harmonic voicings paired with infectious rhythms and live stereo guitars. This music comes from a huge pool of influences, including Deerhoof, Ravel, Thelonious Monk, Super Furry Animals, Ornette Coleman, Hermeto and everything in between. A musical spectacle not to be missed.
Bar open. Fully accessible venue.
