FR#307 Gina Southgate, Hanna Mbuya, Neil Charles

Gina Southgate is a visual artist well known on the international jazz and free improvisation music scene for painting live at gigs. Gina says ‘I work with the frisson of the music, observing the relationship between the musician and instrument. I try to capture  the energy and essence of the gig in real time … In performance situations I use my materials and surfaces sonically’. Free Range has invited Gina to curate an evening of live painting, performance and music and she has chosen two of the most extraordinary musicians in the UK: tuba player, composer and arranger Hanna Mbuya (Anna Meredith, Jon Batiste, Soweto Kinch, Jason Moran, Solange, Arlo Parks) and the double bassist Neil Charles (Jack DeJohnette, the Sun Ra Arkestra, Mingus Big Band, Terence Blanchard).

Doors for this event open at 7pm. The events begins at 8pm. There will be a short interval. The event is expected to finish by 10pm at the latest. A wide range of refreshment are available throughout the evening from the cafe. Card and cash payment are accepted at the venue.  Please note any unclaimed reserved seating will be released at 8.30pm.
