Two maverick bands of progressive and psychedelic jazz rock join forces for a freewheeling night in London. Join us for this very special debut performance of Needlepoint in the UK. Needlepoint (Norway) A quartet with Bjørn Klakegg (Guitar/Vocal), Erlend Slettevoll (Fender Rhodes), Nikolai Hængsle (Bass) and Ola verby (Drums). They have released six albums; The Woods Are Not What They Seem (2010), Outside the Screen" (2012), Aimless Mary" (2015) "The Diary Of Robert Reverie" (2018) "Walking Up That Valley"(2021) and "Remnants of Light" (2024). Needlepoint started as a purely instrumental orchestra, but through the latest studio recordings the vocals have taken on an increasingly prominent role. Many of the band's listeners classify Needlepoint's music as prog rock and often mention Robert Wyatt, Syd Barrett, Caravan, Camel, King Crimson and Yes to describe the band's musical style, which the band is comfortable with. In a stream of lively keyboard playing, swirling drumming, overwhelming bass lines and distinctive guitar playing, Klakegg's melodious song lines find their place, with stories from somewhere between fantasy and reality. Anyway, Needlepoint still sounds like only Needlepoint does. Guranfoe (England) A four-piece rock band formed in Norwich, England in 2012 whose music fuses psychedelic boogie with progressive rock intricacy.These styles combine with years of cohesive group playing to produce a live show defined by energetic medleys, stellar musicianship, intense musical improvisation and extended jams. The night will be opened by Norwich-based folk and blues singer-songwriter Samuel Easter.
