Music events

Pete Roth Trio
Pete Roth Trio started as a rehearsal band, something for some friends to explore the edges of “interactive music” - towards the more experimental end of Jazz. They've now left the rehearsal room, blinking in the sunlight, ready to bring new music to those wanting to hear it.

20 Years of Ensemble 360: Festival Launch
