THOUGHT-FOX - Music Network's Young Musicwide winners 2010 on tour culminating in Dublin performance, 25th October 2011, Coach House, Dublin Castle, 8 p.m. Tickets €15/€10. More info on the gig and booking details here.
Thought-Fox, winner of Music Network’s Young Musicwide Award for 2010-2013, is a serendipitous collaboration of some of the freshest improvisers on the Irish and UK jazz scene. The quintet’s often other-worldly compositions pivot around the powerful yet hauntingly gorgeous voice of Lauren Kinsella, who uses text and poetry to stunning effect alongside vocal techniques blending jazz, South Indian and European folk influences. Fellow foxes include trombonist Colm O’Hara, who has performed with luminaries such as Kenny Wheeler and Michael Brecker, and pianist Tom Gibbs, a stalwart of the Scottish jazz scene. Rhythmic propulsion comes courtesy of Waterford bassist Mick Coady and drummer Simon Roth, who between them have appeared with the likes of Louis Stewart, Ronnie Cuber, Scott Hamilton, Julian Arguelles, Tina May and John Taylor.
