Did you know I also put gigs on in Derby, with amazing musicians? This is one such time.

Madwort Sax Quartet brings together four diverse improvising saxophonists from across the UK scene. Led by Tom Ward and playing his original compositions, the project’s influences include numerology and the movement of the planet earth through space, Steve Coleman, pioneering saxophone quartet ROVA, Tim Berne, and transcriptions of bird song. The quartet played to a sold-out Portico Library at Manchester Jazz Festival 2015, and recorded their debut album live in Spring 2016 at a packed Hundred Years Gallery in London, documenting Tom’s music and capturing the infectious energy of a live gig.


Venue: upstairs at the Blessington Carriage, Chapel Street, Derby DE1 3G

unfortunately there is no disabled access to the upstairs. But this was a short notice gig.

Pick up your ticket at the door! No refunds, sadly.
