Dear Friends,

I feel very excited to share with you impressions from the gig with our brand new Sirkis & Bialas duet. What started once as a spontaneous performance after a workshop at the Leeds College of Music, emerged into a permanent project. We are having loads of fun playing improvised music and exploring the creative possibilities that the mixture of voice & drums offer us.

It is a beautiful challenge to build up and keep the tension using no harmonic instrument during the performance. We`re enjoying it immensely and as this premiere - gig proofs - so does the audience.

Here our new poster - thanks to Monika S.Jakubowska for the magical pic that I could use designing it.

This wonderful smiling man with a very Jazzy name is our promoter Jez Matthews.

Jez became a Jazz Promoter of the Year in the 2018 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.

It is very easy to understand why - Jez is a hearty, passionate and risk taking live -music supporter who brings unique sounds to Sheffield - thanks for having us , Jez!

We enjoyed the performance and the atmosphere at The Lescar. The audience was very warm and attentive which made our experience very unique.

After the gig we were invited by Jaz and his wife Helen to stay at their lively home full of colours and “silly things”…A cosy conversation around the Xmas tree closed up this lovely evening.
