Flo/ra band

Flo/ra is a genre-blurring jazz quintet led by Leeds saxophonist/composer Flo Taylor (Ferg’s Imaginary Big Band, Goddess Collective).

With performances at Hyde Park Book Club and Lancaster Jazz Festival behind them, the band’s sound is crafted, varied and evolving: at times heavy and distorted, at others gentle and fragile. Their music draws on spiritual jazz, classical, folk, drum’n’bass and chant music, defying classification, and reflecting Flo’s own resistance to stereotypes as a neurodivergent queer person.

Flo’s honest and open on-stage demeanour captures their approach to music: an invitation to listeners to be part of it, to come as you are, and to join the band on a journey through sometimes difficult concerns – grief, loss and overwhelm – but also brighter themes of finding community and belonging.

Gig time: 1:30PM - 2:30PM
