Event details

Led by bassist and composer Alison Rayner, this multi award-winning quintet are widely celebrated from several years of extensive UK and European touring, and critically acclaimed for their first two album releases, ‘August’ (2014) and ‘A Magic Life’ (2016).

Their music combines richly nuanced compositions, rhythmic interplay and folk-infused melodies. This, along with their love of improvisation, creates a strong sense of narrative and cinematic quality.

Join for a moving experience of ARQ’s ‘songs without words’, performed in their signature vibrant and communicative style.
