After a small break away, Rhythmica are back with two more gigs. A lot has happened in the past fortnight:

• Arsenal lost to Birmingham in the Carling Cup (Which I am not happy about)
• Col Gaddafi is still on a massive power trip
• Binker has been to the Caribbean and back
• Peter Edwards Trio took Ray's Jazz by storm
• Mark has started to go to the gym......

Anyways, most of that is not important, but what IS important is the information for our next two gigs!!

Read the Londonjazz blog review of Rhythmica's performance at the QEH

At the height of Friday commuter time those who were wise enough to take the detour to the QEH were washed from the grime of a week of toil by a young and exhilarant Rhythmica. The neat and confident demeanour of Mark Crown –trumpet,Andy Chapman –drums, Peter Edwards –piano, Peter Randall –bass, with guest appearance from Denys Baptiste –saxophone. This was tonic to revive the weariest of commuters......

As Rhythmica come towards the end of a successful tour, we are excited about coming back to the front room where we were first launched as Rhythmica.

This time, we have a special guest joining us for this special occasion.

We know who it is...

But you have to come down and find out!

Also, our LIMITED EDITION CD will be on sale, not many left, so get down and BUY!

Welcome to our Time Machine....

 

We travelled up to Southport the night before our performance which was scheduled for saturday morning at 11.00am ( yes AM)
On their way to the venue Rhythmica's Pete Randell, Mark Crown and Binker Golding bumped into Chef Gorden Ramsey in a service station, (as you do). Safe to say that Gordon is now an "Honourary Rhythmican".
The Southport Jazz Festival is held at the Royal Clifton Hotel, and we played in one of the large conference rooms to a packed audience.It was a fantastic gig and we got a warm reception from all the festival goers. Click the link below to see a review of the gig

We will of kicking off Saturday's concert programme in a bill that includes British Jazz Icons such as Julian Arguelles and Stan Tracey.

We will keep you right up-to-date as Rhythmica explore the sights of Southport, and any exciting events that occur on our journey, so watch this space.....

Rhythmica's Pete Randall takes us through his extreme bass warmup workout in
preparation for the Rhythmica Tour assisted by newbie Binker Golding.
