The Ciderhouse Rebellion “Profound and eloquent, epic, haunting and dramatic, masters of improvisation The Ciderhouse Rebellion sees virtuoso musicians Adam Summerhayes and Murray Grainger combine to produce incredible spontaneous tapestries of sound. The pair specialise in creating music in the moment, based on traditional tunes or their own compositions - often springing from a single note, key, time signature, or emotion. It’s this unusually improvisatory focus that is uniquely magical. Their quest is to create music with no conscious thought between conception and playing – always searching for the unexpected and the possibility to create a deep sonic narrative that transports the audience.” 7 March: Taunton Brewhouse, Coal Orchard, TAUNTON, TA1 1JL. 7.45pm. £18 / £16. 01823 283244 / tauntonbrewhouse.co.uk. 26 Music MARK KAVUMA 28 March Wiltshire Music Centre, Ashley Road, BRADFORD-ON-AVON, BA15 1DZ. 7.30pm. £25 / £14. 01225 860100 / wiltshiremusic.org.uk.
