performing frequently as a jazz pianist and accompanist. His partnership
with the well-known local tenor, Nick Hardy, has lasted over 30 years.

performing members and many associate members.

Stan
Ambrose - (10th
& 17th November)
Harpist
Stan
Ambrose, is known by many of us for his generous harp playing
across the city at most artistic events, having worked along
with many fine
artists, poets, writers and choreographers. He story on how he started
to play the harp, is fascinating. Stan is one of the few musicians
who have been involved with Gallery4allarts since 2010 to fundraise
for this venue and community association, together with Skirmish,
Graculus, Jo Bywater, Patricia Mackrell and Oritsema Ejuoneatse,
etc.
"Stan
Ambrose shares presentation of BBC Radio Merseyside's weekly folk
programme, Folkscene (Tuesday and Thursday 21.00).
In Liverpool, Stan began to indulge his passion for folk music:
" I had been part of a skiffle group growing up and used to knock out tunes
on the piano. I had a collection of records and used to make programmes of music
from them. We started a club in Southport called The Bothy. We ended up with
a club full of people. It was an amazing time."
Stan's involvement with the folk circuit allowed him to meet Geoff Speed:..."

A
duet of local musicians playing original compositions on harmonica
and acoustic guitar, being inspired by 'flavours' and ingredients
from some Eastern folk thesauruses such as

Graculus duet - (10th & 17th
November)
Phil Hargreaves
Tenor
sax/soprano sax/flute
Phil
Hargreaves is a Liverpool-based instrumentalist and composer working
in the field of improvised and experimental music.
“I
began playing as a guitarist in a punk band in the West Midlands,
where i grew up, before moving to Liverpool at the age of twenty
and buying a tenor sax, both decisions that would radically shape
the rest of my life. Initially i was involved in Liverpool's pop
scene, recording John Peel sessions with Personal Column, but eventually
i moved via streetband work into the jazz field.
After stints playing fusion and dinner jazz, i finally found the area where
i could fully combine my talents, interests and influences, in improvised music,
an area first stimulated by work with Peshkar theatre, and my subsequent study
of Indian music with Aziz Zeria in Manchester.
I played with guitarist Phil Morton in the duo Bonehouse, and also helped establish
the Frakture club in Liverpool, a club space for improvised and experimental
music. Highlights of bonehouse's playing career included playing w/Derek Bailey
and Lol Coxhill. Arising out of the Frakture work, the Frakture Big Band was
a loose grouping of improvising musicians based in and around Liverpool, mostly
playing phil hargreaves compositions - their collaboration with Simon H Fell
was one of the highlights of the 1999 Frakture Festival.
In 2001 i premiered the Dislocation Sermons, a major work in collaboration
with poet Dinesh Allirajah, and performed by an augmented version of the Frakture
Big Band. That year also saw the release of trees, a first CD release from
amere3, a trio of phil, simon fell on bass and rob dainton on drums.
2002 saw the premier of the chaos concerto, for large improvising group and
creative soloist, featuring Evan Parker and the Frakture Big Band, and also
the release of a double CD of 'postal duets' with North Carolina guitarist
Bret Hart.
In 2003, due to mental health problems I stopped playing saxophone, but eventually
finished two ongoing projects, duets albums with Caroline Kraabel and Lee Noyes.
Since then i have finished a further postal duet with Glenn Weyant, playing
cello and singing.
In the summer of 2007 I took up the saxophone again, and recorded 'musick for
two machines' with Barry Chabala.
2009 saw the release of 'Imperfect Silence', a compilation CD of contributions
to the 'cadavre esquis' website that i curate; 2010 will see the release of
'Human', with Maggie Nicols, 'Graculus', a duo CD with guitarist Richard Harding,
and a second amere3 CD.”
