Paul Edis: Music Box
Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Edis performs a solo set of new songs and compositions using looping and electronics to create memorable melodies and tell stories. He will be joined by guests Northumbrian piper Andy May and saxophonist Matt Anderson (a familiar face from Edis’s Jazzy Christmas shows) in this special concert to mark the end of Paul’s year as Artist in Residence at Sage Gateshead.

Francis Tulip and Ben Lawrence
Both prodigiously talented young musicians from the North East, Tulip (guitar) and Lawrence (piano) met when they started performing together as teenagers in Jambone and the Early Bird Band. They have been playing together ever since in various different groups at venues across the region and beyond. For this set, the duo will play a mix of contemporary jazz and original compositions rooted in the jazz tradition.
