Incredibly, it has been over 12 years since composer and saxophonist extraordinaire Trish Clowes played at SoundCellar, so we are particularly delighted to see her return. Although they play together very occasionally, we are especially excited to team Trish up with one of SoundCellar’s most respected guitarists Mike Outram, for this special evening here in Poole.

Trish Clowes has released eight albums as leader and heads up her acclaimed band My Iris. In addition, she recently released a duo album ‘Journey To Where’ in 2024 with her long-time colleague, SoundCellar regular Ross Stanley.

Trish has also written for orchestras and larger ensembles, such as a recent commission to compose and arrange for the famous NDR Big Band, for a series of concerts in Germany in November 2024. Dr Trish Clowes is Jazz Saxophone Professor at the Royal Academy of Music and an Associate Artist at London’s Wigmore Hall.

“…one of the most agile and original jugglers of improv and adventurous composition to have appeared in the UK in recent times” (The Guardian)

Mike Outram needs little introduction to SoundCellar audiences, having played here many times in many different combinations over the years. He always proves to be a popular choice with our regular patrons, because they recognise that he is simply one of the best guitarists out there! He has played music all over the world & recorded around 100 albums with people like Steven Wilson, Tim Garland, Theo Travis, Robert Fripp, Jeremy Stacey, Cory Wong, Nikki Iles and many others.

As well as leading and recording with his own ensembles, bassist Calum Gourlay has played and recorded with amazing artists such as Tommy Smith, Kit Downes, Kurt Elling, Richard Rodney Bennett, Arild Andersen, Makoto Ozone and others. He last played at SoundCellar with Nick Costley-White back in 2018, so we are delighted to have him return.

Top drummer Joel Barford will be making his SoundCellar debut. Joel has played with many well known artists such as Alfie Boe, Michael Ball, Roy Wood and Liane Carroll, as well as with SoundCellar ‘alumni’ such as Nigel Price, Jim Mullen, Laurence Cottle, Dave O’Higgins, Alex Hitchcock, Tom Ollendorff and Alex Garnett. He also took over the full time drum stool in Trish’s My Iris band at the beginning of 2023.
