Solo performance
Working as a soloist with various dance and theatre artists and companies, I have cultivated a unique way of mixing all my classical, improvisation and folk influences
Lode
Improvisation duo of Alison Blunt (Violin) and David Leahy. Working together to make surprising and beautiful looped sound worlds and environments.
SichtLautTrio
Featuring Brazilian dancer Geraldo Si , ex Pina Bausch dancer and resident in Germany and David both dancing and playing the double bass.
Separate to everything else that they do, the two of them team up to perform and transform any environment making it not only a very live performance full of surprises, but also one that the audience finds themselves very much in the middle of.
London Improvisers Orchestra (LIO)
Made up of 35-40 people (but uusally about 25 on any given performance) the London Improvisers Orchestra has been in existence since 1998 (I joined it in 1999). Meeting up to rehearse and perform usually once a month throughout the year at various venues around London. The group is unique in that it features some of the best improvisers around and anyone in the group can offer a conduction to the group.
Deirdre Starr (piano and vocals)
I first started playing with Deirdre in 1993 when we were both still living in Wellington, New Zealand, Based now in County Wicklow, Ireland, Deirdre and I have once again begun playing and touring together.
Her repertoire consists of an array of Irish poems and tales that she has put beautifully and sparingly to music. These arrangements and the fact that she chooses to tour with me, makes the two of us a very unique combination on the Irish music scene.
