MONDAY 8TH DECEMBER) we will be at the Speakeasy again for the legendary Sean Noonan Trio. Sean is a speaking drummer, composer, and rhythmic storyteller: his music defies categorisarion. His live shows are startling, inspiring and absolutely unique, bridging punk-jazz, modern orchestral composition (he recorded his own concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra), creating genre-defying soundscapes. His collaborations read like a who’s who of adventurous music: Marc Ribot, Malcolm Mooney (CAN), Jamaladeen Tacuma (Ornette Coleman), Abdoulaye Diabate, Ligeti Quartet amongst many others.
The trio includes another legend: the multi-award winning Matthew Bourne on keys. Another multiple collaborator, Matt has worked with Marc Ribot, Paul Dunmall, Annette Peacock, John Zorn, Pete Wareham, Barre Phillips and Tony Bevan amongst many others. His solo albums have been released on the Leaf label to great acclaim (Leftfield Album of the Year award by the Sunday Times).
