LAND OF IF- SIMON ROTH

First performances with Jazz percussionist and composer Simon Roth’s new ensemble ‘Land of If’, in Sheffield, London and at the ‘Festival of Jim’. Such a joy to make music with close friends! I have been playing with Simon for many years in different projects, including my own songs. There is lots of laughter and silliness in rehearsals, GREAT food, and ultimately, challenging, creative and fulfilling music making…

Simon’s songs are intricate, poetic, sensitive and very original, drawing on a range of influences from Ligeti to Radiohead to Nick Drake. It is a pleasure to listen to and play with this stellar line up of imaginative improvising musicians: Emily Wright (vocals-Moonlight Saving Time), James Kitchman (guitar), Anisa Arslanagic (Viola), Simon Roth (percussion and drums). Stay tuned for recordings and more gigs in 2018…
