Hey Nick , would definitely be up for a play soon :-). Shall have to catch you when you're next free. Your tunes on here are sounding great (loving Juju) ! See you soon rx
My oh my! Aren't you a busy bee?! Was lovely to see you (if for a brief moment in your hectic schedule!) at the Vieux Farka Toure gig. Would I be allowed to come to your final recital at the end of the next week? I am thinking of doing some post grad jazz study in 2010 and would like to get a feel for the place... and also get to hear you play and blag a night out in town with the infamous Nick Malcolm!!! Let me know what you think, and if I'm allowed... Please do have a listen to my page will ya? Although all live versions, so not great quality... But I guess jazz is essentially a live artform, so have a gander! I mean the sound quality is not great... nor are the band really! Tonnes of love Clara xxx
The Guardian said of "Rufus! Rufus! Rufus!": "Where's Neil Hannon got to? Bath-born Brunel seems to be stepping into his shoes with this camp, intricately arranged (think harps, strings and a female choir singing in French) tribute to Rufus Wainwright."
One of the highlights of the Vortex London Jazz Festival – TIME OUT
Featuring Fyfe Dangerfield (from Guillemots), Gannets posit an alternative jazz history in which 30's swing developed straight into a combined form of the free jazz and fusion movements, without any of the intervening decades.
