Label curator and guitarist DIRK SERRIES heads out to LONDON for two live events. On Saturday he teams up with BENEDICT TAYLOR (viola) and ALAN WILKINSON (bass clarinet, sax). As a trio, they will bring you, in the wonderful space of the Hundred Years Gallery, many variations on fiddle string twists, slurred guitar fingering, and mammoth-like blows and wind washes to produce tunes that are manually constructed, deconstructed, and put back together again Expect a wonderful evening of pure free improvisation from three kindred spirits.

On Sunday afternoon Dirk joins once again COLIN WEBSTER LARGE ENSEMBLE for its second outing at Cafe Oto, which comprises many of the leading players in the current generation of improvising musicians. This is a matinee show. The line-up is :

Colin Webster / alto sax
Rachel Musson / tenor sax
Cath Roberts / baritone sax
Charlotte Keeffe / trumpet / flugelhorn
Sarah Gail Brand / trombone
Graham Dunning / electronics
Dirk Serries / guitar
Caius Williams / bass
