Smiodair Live

Smiodair is an international trio comprised of Dave Smith (UK)-drums, Robin Fincker (FR)-tenor saxophone/clarinet and Simon Jermyn (IRL)-electric bass. Playing original music composed by each member of the group, this trio constantly weaves in and out of improvisation.

The word Smiodair is from the Irish language, and refers to fragments or small broken pieces, analogous to the band’s treatment of musical materials. Expect melodic fragments, micro improvs, deconstructed grooves and more!

This will be the final show in a short run of UK dates that include the Flute & Tankard in Cardiff, Fringe Jazz in Bristol and The Vortex Jazz Club in London. The group will also spend a day in the Cheese & Grain studio on 25th recording some of their new music and improvisations.

The Silk Mill will also have an exhibition called Artists in Dialogues: War Vocabulary which exclusively features Ukranian artists work which makes this event extra special! We will set up in the round for you to experience of the space, the art and the music in the best way possible.

This is definitely one not to miss! Grab your ticket before it sells out.
