Get ready for an evening of musical magic with the at Peggy's Skylight in Nottingham on December 5th, 2024. Doors open at 7pm, so feel free to arrive fashionably early and grab a drink before the performance kicks off at 8pm. What can you expect from this delightful bunch? Well, they mix vocal-led tunes and instrumental jams, drawing from a world of musical styles such as modal traditions, spiritual jazz, and those lovely folk sounds that dance around the globe. Gilles Peterson from BBC Radio 6 calls them "brilliant," and who are we to argue with that?

With a name that translates to 'poetic inspiration' in Welsh, aims to whisk you away on a journey through folklore, landscapes, and a touch of the human psyche—perfect for a good old ponder while you sip your drink. Their music features a sprinkle of spoken word, some glistening instrumentals, and even a hint of Celtic charm, making for a unique vibe at the jazz scene. The lineup looks like a proper band of legends: you've got soulful vocals from Amy Clark, trumpets and flugels from Emyr Penry Dance, and enough saxophone prowess from Saul Duff to make your heart skip a beat. So come along, bring your thinking cap and dancing shoes, and get ready for an eclectic evening of sounds that might just blow your socks off.
