Expect special guests and collaborations all night long for this Bristol scene blending show!!
RUN LOGAN RUN
In the summer of 2026—following a sonic journey of spiritual exploration in his Ankh Sanctuary studio—saxophonist & producer Andrew Neil Hayes announced the return of his boundary smashing jazz-not-jazz project, Run Logan Run. It had been three years since the release of Nature Will Take Care Of You on Bristol’s own Worm Discs label. During that time Hayes dismantled old structures in order to make way for something new, emerging reinvigorated with a brand new clutch of boundary pushing collaborators, including vocalists BB.JAMES and Gina Leonard, and drummers Chris Langton and Ryan Thrupp.
At the forefront of Bristol’s contribution to the pulsing UK jazz scene come Run Logan Run, an alchemical fusion of surging polyrhythms and screaming guttural saxophone. Guided by the searching and fearless tone of founding member Andrew Neil Hayes’s horn, the band has earned a reputation for explosive live performances, full of raw power and visceral energy. The project continues to evolve a line-up that has featured many of the city’s most innovative musicians.
MUMBLE TIDE
Buoyed by an ever-evolving collage of pop influences, Mumble Tide’s work has regularly swung between the sweet and savage, the grungy and glistening. But at its heart is the meeting of two minds; singer-songwriter Gina Leonard and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Rogers. Over the last few years they have honed their distinctive brand of kaleidoscopic indie, all anchored by Leonard’s crystalline, plaintive voice.
Lively, energetic, sometimes fevered drumming combined with a masterful delivery of multi-channel saxaphone, Run Logan Run tore the roof off. J Frisco delivered an emotional smack bang of extremely varied improv workouts, proving them selves worthy partners on the same bill as did Astrofoam. He opened proceedings with some delightful crooning with a heart-warming glam aesthetic.
All musicians proved themselves above and beyond by joining each other on stage for a full participatory jam, working the crowd into a cresendo.
