Tony Gorman's Monday Club

We are very excited to announce Tony Gorman’s return to live performance with the extraordinary improvising group The Monday Club. The Monday Club grew from a chance meeting between Tony Gorman and Steve Morley. A shared desire to explore sound was enough to start things moving - starting with long notes (to quote Tony - “is there ANYTHING they can’t do?”), it quickly became something more. The sources of this music are varied, elusive and not easily named - the spaces between words, and thoughts; the subtle stirrings of shifting time; flashing inspiration, raging and at once subsiding; a sense of space becoming sound becoming space… There are deep sonorities and ranging explorations, fuelled by the unique instrumentation and broad range of experience and inspiration within the group.
