The Monday Club + What It Is

Sandy Evans and Tony Gorman Sandy Evans and Tony Gorman

Two ensembles from the home of Sandy Evans and Tony Gorman - and it's Tony's birthday!

The Monday Club

The amazing improvising ensemble convened by Tony every Monday.  The topic of choice is free improvisation and happily the participants like listening as much as playing.  The pieces are open fields on which ideas gently intertwine into fascinating sound worlds.

Tony Gorman : alto clarinet
Mary Rapp : cello
Stephen Morley : horn
Boyd : contrabass clarinet
