Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for John Edwards "After taking up the bass, around 1987, John Edwards co-formed The Pointy Birds who went on to win awards for their music for The Cholmondeleys and Featherstonehaughs dance troupes. The group appeared at festivals in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Moers, Leverkusen, Copenhagen. Around 1990, Edwards played his first gigs with London improvisers such as Roger Turner, Lol Coxhill, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton. Between 1990 and 1995 Edwards was a member of three touring groups simultaneously: B-Shops For The Poor, The Honkies and GOD. During this period he also became an increasingly regular player on the London improvised music scene and performed his first solo gigs; he composed and performed music theatre with the bass and cello duo The Great Explorers, street-busked a lot and appeared at many more festivals in Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Czech, etc. Since 1995 John Edwards has become a "mainstay" of the London scene, playing with just about everybody, an activity that has seen him clocking up between 150 and 200 gigs a year. He has become regular player with Evan Parker, in many groupings, and with Tony Bevan, Veryan Weston, and Elton Dean, often in collaboration with Mark Sanders on percussion. He has become a more frequent player on the European (and festival) scene, appearing at Taktlos, Ulrichsburg, Nickelsdorf, Budapest, New Zealand and in the USA. He continues to work on solo performances." ^ Hide Bio for John Edwards • Show Bio for Dave Fowler Dave Fowler is a British improvising drummer, known for the bands Glowering Figs, The Gathering (with Maggie Nichols), Dave Fowler-Graham Clark Trio, and the performing quartet of Sue Lynch / Dawid Frydryk / Dave Fowler / John Edwards. ^ Hide Bio for Dave Fowler • Show Bio for Sue Lynch "Sue Lynch runs 'The Horse Improvised Music Club' with Adam Bohman and Hutch Demouilpied. www.horseimprovclub.wordpress.com/.Since 2014, The horse has been based at IKLECTIK Art Lab, so this and other projects have been in conjunction with Eduard Solaz.

Grew up in a home filled with passion for classical music and his father encouraged him to study music from an early age. Soon his music activities went far beyond classical music, and through reggae, ska, world music, funk, hip-hop, electronic music turned into improvisation. Living in Poland, Frydryk has been collaborating with local Polish jazz, free jazz and free improv musicians as well as with international musical environment (e.g. Gabriel Ferrandini, Hernani Faustino or musicians from Umlaut Records such as Joel Grip or Pierre Borel among others). Also he has always been involved with a wide diversity of musical styles and situations as well e.g. he has been working as a part of band or as a session musician: in Polish tv's shows; with quite popular Polish reggae, ska or funky music bands; with Polish brass bands; with Polish classical orchestras. In 2009 he graduated master's degree in jazz performance on the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wroclaw . He studied jazz trumpet under Piotr Wojtasik. In the years 2011 - 2012 as originator and artistic director of the project called Art of Improvisation, Frydryk has been helping to promote the improvisation scene in Poland. (He has invited on AOI artists the like of William Parker, Hamid Drake, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Paul Lovens, Joëlle Léandre, Irène Schweizer, Maggie Nichols, Axel Dörner among others). Now he is based in London and he is involved in London's thriving improvisation scene and working as a session musician as well." ^ Hide Bio for Dawid Frydryk
