Emmanuelle de Decker from Gatecrash tells us, “I saw them perform in Wales which is when I thought of bringing them here. We have now been collaborating with Wales Arts International to bring Welsh artistes here and Indian artistes abroad and also do a few collaborations.”
As for Burum, it gets its Folk element from Ceri Rhys Matthews — a Folk musician himself — through bagpipes and wooden flute. And joining him in this Jazz improvisation are Dave Jones on piano, Aidan Thorne on bass, Mark O’Connor on drums and Daniel Williams.
