    ......FARMYARD ANIMALS TRIO........ PETE FLOOD - DRUMS.... GIDEON JUCKES - TUBA.. BRENDAN KELLY - REEDS........ 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 embarked on the first of their adventures, 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). .. This culminated in the birth of the Traditional Japanese Space Funk Ensemble- SETSUBUN BEAN UNIT (signed to Accidental Records and AWDR/L2, tours in UK, Sonar Festival, Barcelona, and Asagiri Jam, Japan). Pete, Gid and Brendan have also been working as long term members of the English traditional group Bellowhead... And now, Farmyard Animals Trio are proud to present their NEW ALBUM!....................BUY THE NEW ALBUM "LIVESTOCK" AT................BUY "FARMYARD ANIMALS!"......ALBUM AT ................ .... ...... .. .. ......INFLUENCES-.. ........ .. .. .. .. .. ...... ........ .. .. .. .. .. ...... ........ .. .. .. .. .. ........
