Quercus at Turner Sims

Friday 28 November, 8pm

Three of the UK’s most celebrated, multi award winning jazz and folk musicians come together to create mesmerising, lyrical music that weaves together the essence of folk and jazz.

Two time winner of the BBC Folk Awards Singer of the Year, June Tabor rose to fame in the mid ‘70’s. She has maintained a high profile career ever since, working with the likes of Maddy Prior and the Oyster Band amongst many others. Listed in the BBC’s 100 Jazz Legends, Iain Ballamy is one of the UK’s most celebrated jazz musicians and composers. Welsh pianist Huw Warren’s distinctive and enticing music has led to collaborations with Maria Pia de Vito, Mark Feldman and Erik Truffaz.

Drawing on original compositions, traditional folk songs and reclaimed standards, Quercus create a magical atmosphere. They combine June’s passionate voice with Iain’s glorious melodies and Huw’s off-kilter musicality. Together they create beautifully poignant music that tells life’s bittersweet tales.

Turner Sims has just launched their '26 Spring Season, with amazing events like Tim Garland & Geoffrey Keezer, Lady Nade and Andy Sheppard Trio on offer.
