This Is The Kit, The (Greatness Of The Magnificence) Fantasy Orchestra

This Is The Kit will feature members of The Fantasy Orchestra and the Fantasy Orchestra will be presenting Navidad Nuestra, a seasonal work from Argentina by Ariel Ramirez. Other festive and seasonal stuff will be occurring.

This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris, though the heart of their musical community remains in Bristol, UK. Kate sings, plays guitar, banjo, trumpet and percussion, while a cast of carefully hand-plucked friends deliver guitar strums, banjo plucks, hushed horns and electronic textures that sit beneath Stables' easy, earnest lilt. Her long time collaborator and regular live companion Jesse Vernon produced the album and contributes guitars, percussion, violin and percussion. While on tour, This is the Kit is a shape shifting entity ranging from a female duo with friend Rozi Plain to a psychedelia tinged five electric five-piece.
