David Preston / Robin Mullarkey / Gary Husband - T R I O
A rare one-off performance & first meeting as a trio between guitarist David Preston, bassist Robin Mullarkey and drummer Gary Husband. David Preston has been described by the Guardian as “Virtuosic” and Time Out as “A superb modern jazz guitarist”. A finalist at the Montreux International Guitar competition, he released his 2-part debut album ‘Purple / Black’ on Whirlwind Recordings in 2023/24. Robin Mullarkey is known for his involvement with the UK broken beat movement, producing two ground-breaking LPs fusing his academic jazz background with the contemporary dance aesthetic in the band Brotherly. He has recently been touring with Jacob Collier & Donny McCaslin. Gary Husband is one of a rare breed of musicians in that his expression is divided equally in his capacity as a drummer, pianist and keyboardist of international repute. For close to four decades, Gary has worked alongside a vast and eclectic range of celebrated musicians including John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Gary Moore & many others. The trio will perform a unique repertoire of originals tailored for the occasion, choice interpretations of favourite classics and spontaneous improvisations - truly not to be missed.
