Hosted at Metal’s Platform 1 building, this monthly concert series has built up steam over the past year and a half using the Engine Room in Edge Hill station as its base. Put together by Phil Hargreaves (whi music) and Nick Branton – variously of the Liverpool Gathering Orchestra and myriad other local musical projects – their umbrella for these events is titled ‘AMQH’ and has become an improvised music headquarters; one prong on the city’s vibrant experimental music scene crown. Expect free hot drinks and largely unamplified spontaneous composition.

On Friday 17 January, “two local (ish) trios, including voice, sax, guitars, clay flutes, found sounds, ‘just about music’ and deep listening at all times” will perform.

KRAus
Rob Harrison – guitar, Keith Parkins – reeds, Angela Vowles – voice.
“An eclectic mix of jazz-flavoured instruments, boasting avenues of nuances derived from the moment. The presence. Re-imagining the unity of discord, and mayhem, they insinuate the possibilities of anti-normalness.
This improvisational trio, Keith Parkins, Robert Harrison, and Angela Vowles make music ( most of the time) but don’t know where it’s going. Nor do they know when it will end .
They create their own space and time . Draw inspiration from Kraus …”

LICK
“are Aous, Jon and Paula, using everyday found sounds for ‘just about’ music, sometimes singing, sometimes clay flutes. They insist they’re in a band together…”

Doors open at 7.30pm, music starts at 8pm.

Tickets are £7, and £5 concessions

Advance tickets for AMQH / whi music events are available here.
