F-IRE Festival
Ingrid Laubrock is widely regarded as one of the UK’s finest female saxophonists in the country, yet you might not of heard of her and her jazz Quintet but they kicks off the fifth F-IRE Festival this week.
The collective started over 15 years ago and is made up of an assortment of talented jazz performers who came together to showcase there soloists, bands and further there musical experience. The collective then went on to organizing work shops for other young musicians interested in learning more about jazz.
But it was in 2004 the collective went on to gain mass attention by winning a BBC British jazz award.
F-IRE Festival now in its fifth year is gaining in prominance and the programme reflects this with key members of the Collective as well as musicians from other labels making there appearances.
Robert Mitchell, Mark Donlon Tom Arthur polar bear and drummer Seb Rochford will all be playing at that festival this week.
