   About Farmyard Animals Trio

FARMYARD ANIMALS TRIO

PETE FLOOD - DRUMS

GIDEON JUCKES - TUBA

BRENDAN KELLY - SAXOPHONES

Welcome to the world of one of the UKs most intrepid alternative world jazz groups. The trio consists of an unconventional portable acoustic line-up, playing music inspired by different cultures encountered on their travels.

in 2002, Farmyard Animals Trio first began their travels by visiting Istanbul, performing impromptu gigs at the Cinili cafe in Kadikoy, home to one of the cities most vibrant artistic communities.

Gigs at home right across the UK followed, and the recording of their debut album 'FARMYARD ANIMALS!&rsquo. Here's what some people have said:

"If we speak about the music of the association, then this mixed on the talent and the humor mikst from the old good British music, the jazz accordions and many folklore influences: from the Arab and Japanese to the Balkan and Catalan musical traditions. And if we during the hearing shut eyes and to attempt to visualize compositions Farmyard Animals Trio, to you will be represented typically English countryside with the accurate clipped green of fields of pasture and by that grazing on it in the fog... by camel." (Jazz Quadrat Magazine, Moscow, reviewing our show at the 2007 Vilnius Jazz Festival, translation courtesy of Babelfish!)

"Unusual combination of instruments, taking music from Arabic, Balkan and American cultures, and somehow managing to maintain a very British sound. Wonderful!" (Resonance FM, LMC London July 2004)

"But the 800-pound gorillas of the show were surely the Farmyard Animals! an immaculate modern jazz combination of saxes and bass clarinet, tuba and drums. The tuba took the bass parts like a duck takes a swim in the morning, and also pulled some absolutely awesome solos. Jazz can be a little boring: if you're not getting a tune, but you still hear it going round more choruses, you can start to yearn for something new. What entirely saved us from this sensation was the imaginative precise placement of a diverse array of popped, chopped and dropped beats from the man at the skins, Pete Flood. What can I say? I am not even worthy to pass comment. Our chins gaped open in amazement at their mastery. There was so much to enjoy."(Dougie, online review)

"FARMYARD ANIMALS TRIO. A group of 3 in Britain. Tuba, saxophone, and drum. It takes a nap in a large-boned feelings good sound."(Japanese review by Satoushin, translated through Excite)

In January 2005, the trio was lucky enough to continue it's mission of mixing musically with different cultures by visiting Tokyo for six weeks, playing with a hugely diverse group of musicians, from contemporary jazz (Kido Natsuki), to ching-dong street music (Cicala Mvta), and traditional shakuhachi music (Kakizakai Kaoru).

January 2006 sees the first return leg of the exchange with the fantastic musicians Takuma Kawauchiya and Yuki Yamashita visiting for a series of gigs with the trio, forming the SETSUBUN BEAN UNIT (check out www.myspace.com/sestubunbeanunit). 2007 saw the release of the BEAN UNIT's first album on Accidental Records, as well as Farmyards gigs in Vilnius and Oxford, and Setsubun Gigs in Barcelona and Bracknell! Who can guess what the future will be holding?!

Club Integral Pre- Yule Party - an early festive fiesta...

13th December 2008
at The Grovesnor, 17 Sidney Road, Stockwell, London SW9 0TP

An unmissable night of music from London's home to the unpredictable...
Jack Shirt - one-man machine-tooled psychedelia

I am a Kamura





Dec 5 2008 2:19 PM

Club Integral @ Cafe Oto, 18-22 Ashwin St, Dalston E8 - Friday 5th December
Featuring music from Fukuoka's angriest Diva Atsuko Kamura and her band I Am A Kamura, plus special guests Strathbungo Schleppers (poet and raconteur Ivor Kallin and meta-guitarist John Bissett).
Doors 8.30 to 12.00
Entry £5/£7

Atsuko Kamura's debut solo album is one of this year's most remarkable collection of songs... I Am A Kamura are all about live playing and uncanny vocal delicacy. Are we in a hotel bar in 1930s downtown Fukuoka, Kamura's hometown in Japan? Or are those harps and strings from Wong Kar-Wai's heady 2046-style fantasies? In fact Kamura's music could only have been made right now and in London, for all its Japanese lyrics and faux-oriental touches over Latin rhythms.
Clive Bell - Wire magazine, November 2008

John Bisset is a quietly brilliant improvisational guitarist; Ivor Kallin is a bearded Scotsman. Bisset extemporises appropriate accompaniment on an acoustic guitar; Kallin intones apocalyptically sinister street names.
