The F-IRE Collective champions the notion of creative expression and places education firmly at the heart of its core philosophy. It began in the mid-Nineties as a workshop where a group of young musicians met to train in West African dance music, learning through this experience more communal ways of making music that they later applied in their own output. F-IRE rapidly developed into a community of artists whose outlook stretched beyond music and into the realms of dance, poetry, film and other modes of creative expression.
Clown Revisited has already received rave reviews with its inventive take on the music that accompanies everyone's favourite circus performer. This inspirational project from pianist and keyboardist Nick Ramm came from an original idea inspired by circuses in Denmark and Holland, where Nick played in the house band accompanying acrobats, magicians, trapeze artists, jugglers, contortionists and the clown performances. When the time was right, he assembled a group of musicians known for their playing skills and for their ability to read music. Nick has collaborated with many top UK artists including Jim Mullen, The Cinematic Orchestra and Jack Bruce. This five-piece consists of tuba, piano, cello, flute and percussion and they perform with a strong visual element. The skilful players and arrangements offer a vibrant sound with a rich dynamic. Circus-inspired themes keep the players on their toes, balancing written notes with improvised passages that frequently switch between styles and tempos. In this show you will hear an Afro-Peruvian groove, echoes of vaudeville, a cha-cha-cha, a dose of medieval hip hop, a quick frenzied clown dance and a slow piece with a never-ending melody. This session guarantees to reveal the mysteries of jazz in a fun and participatory atmosphere for all to enjoy.
