Gail Brand/Mark Sanders/Bruce Coates & More
Another exciting FrImp lineup. Two of Britain’s finest improvisers, renowned for their work across genres. Gail Brand is probably the foremost improvising trombonist working in Europe with a vast amount of experience appearing with almost every important name in the genre. Fans of comedian Stewart Lee will recognise her from her appearance in his recent television series. Gail, who grew up in Birmingham, is making her return to the Hare and Hounds for the first time since she 16! Mark Sanders is the drummer of choice for everyone from Evan Parker, through to John Coxon and J Spaceman (of Spiritualized) (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXK60JItJ64 ) in the group Spring Heel Jack, Jah Wobble and Birmingham’s own Broadcast. His last appearance at the Hare and Hounds with Evan Parker and John Edwards was one of the exciting gigs of the year. Both Gail and Mark have worked together in a variety of settings over many years and share an an incredible musical empathy which is always a delight to the ears.
