John and Nick first shared a bill at the legendary Grapes in 1996 and have performed together in a variety of ad-hic line-ups since. Finally, they have embarked on a project named “Seppings” (anyone spotted the reference?) and have released their first album “Cow Corner“, drawn from an extended improv session, partitioned and post-processed by Nick in August ’23. They recently expanded to a trio, welcoming the stellar Peter Rophone to the mix on vocals & whatnot.
They have no plans for world domination, just a shared love of improv and a considerable combined time as musicians! All their music is improvised and unstructured, led by intuition, inspiration and responding to each others performance. The mood ebbs & flows…
