October 2026

Our second (October) session brought together Dave Birchall on guitar, banjo and objects, Lyn Hodnett on cello, flugelhorn, voice and percussion, Gill Whiteley on piano and viola and Geoff Bright on alto saxophone.

Watch here for a short video clip (thanks Clint Challoner for recording)…

Listen to the full audio performance here.

Interestingly, the main group session segued very neatly and sweetly into a collective improvisation that included sound, movement around the space and vocalisations – see a snatch of video here when we get permissions.

A comment from Liam

…another wonderful afternoon at Shirley House last week… it really did feel like a radical session through opening up the senses and spaces between each other…
