Touring their critically acclaimed album, Release The Penguins, a quartet from the larger TG Collective come to ignite. An intriguing mix of gypsy jazz, flamenco and contemporary classical influences, the band carries the music forward with a spirit of adventure and energy, built around the core of guitarists Jamie Fekete and Sam Slater, alongside flutes, violin, double bass, trumpet and cajón. Creating an exciting, sensuous sound, TGC perform original compositions and arrangements, touching on influences as varied as Paco de Lucia, Django Reinhardt and JS Bach, and have built up a strong following with their intense live performances.
Featuring Jamie Fekete and Sam Slater (guitars), Percy Pursglove (double bass, trumpet), Lluis Mather (clarinet, flute)
