FIKA' is the new album by electric viola da gamba ensemble Elysian Fields. Inspired by Scandinavia- 'FIKA' is rooted in the Swedish ancestry of Artistic Director Jenny Eriksson- and her love of northern European jazz and Swedish baroque music. This beautiful international project sings to the gathering of friends- food and conversation through the idiosyncratic viola de gamba. Produced by saxophonist Matt Keegan and featuring the stunning vocals and violin of Susie Bishop- 'FIKA' takes inspiration from the frozen landscapes of Scandinavia- drawing on traditional folk music and language.Susie Bishop (voice-violin) Matt Keegan (saxophones) Jenny Eriksson (electric viola da ga gamba) Matt McMahon (piano) Siebe Pogson (bass guitar) Dave Goodman (drums)Special Support: Jo TrumanJosephine Truman is an artist skirting the boundary of tradition and experimentation. Her cross-pollination of traditional and experimental performance styles caught the ear of legendary composer- theorist and artist John Cage- with whom she collaborated on 'Song Books'.

Gathering knowledge from personal experience and individual influences- this project blends musical curiosity through improvisation.Last year- this project culminated in a debut album (released September 2019) and a sold-out show at Venue 505. Experimental- creative- and theatrical- this music takes prog and jazz rock to another level.'Listen with deep awareness- the system has turned irreversibly corrupt. Not knowing where it is leading us to- the inevitable emancipation has begun.'Lillian Hearne: clarinet- sax- vocalsRemi Marchand: guitarJay Woo: electric double-bassJuan Carlos Negrete Lopez: drumsBoroky (Art Pop)Three years old- Boroky potters around the shallows of the collective unconscious collecting smooth stones and shells. Boroky dances with giants (which is quite messy)- battles dragons (don't we all)- and has cool mermaid friends who make Boroky a bit bashful. Some people think Boroky is getting too big to drink out of a bottle with a teat.JetrioJetrio was birthed from a communal disdain- for each member hated each other's voices. Sean hated Alex's voice- who hated Blain's voice- so the vicious cycle went. With the aid of musical instruments- they were able to eschew conversation altogether and instead make 'musics' of an 'acceptable variety'.

A born entertainer- this veteran performer has covered a plethora of musical styles and settings- from lounge to swing and Afro-Cuban big band- delighting audiences. Her latest venture featuring this high-energy classic piano trio- evokes feel good jazz with tight arrangements and groovy pockets.Monica Trapaga (vocals) Andrew Scott (piano) Max Alduca (bass) Tim Geldens (drums)Special Support: Tessie Overmyer TrioOne of the most exciting alto players to emerge recently- saxophonist Tessie Overmyer brings a soulful- late-night feel to her approach at just 19 years old. Smouldering horn lines burn through charming arrangements- free of pretence. A traditional sense of musicianship and a strong sense of melody permeates Overmyer's compositions- with a maturity to her playing and phrasing that belies her youth.Covid-safe measuresDo not attend if you are feeling unwell.
