Led by Michael Bede Dunlop, Bede Quartet plays jazz that draws inspiration from Northumbrian and Scandinavian folk, blending strong melodies with a collectively fluid approach to improvisation.
Initially formed as a drumless trio in 2021, the group has developed a uniquely cohesive voice. They have grown together first as friends, incidentally as artists, maturing into a sound that’s always evolving with honesty and without ego. They’ll be showcasing material from their debut album, which was recorded over a few days in rural Northumberland.
