Flanagan Ingham Quartet

Twenty years since they formed and ten years since they last spoke, East Anglian hard bop legends the FIQ are delighted to return to the Bury St Edmunds festival for a one-off reunion, to blow through their greatest hits and settle old scores.

First convening at the long-lost Blue Note Jazz Restaurant in Bury St Edmunds in 1991, the FIQ purveyed their unique and winning blend of bebop and song at clubs and festivals throughout the UK and released two critically acclaimed albums, Zanzibar (1995) and Textile Lunch (1999). During a decade-long sabbatical from the band, the individual members have pursued disparate occupations; Dr. Kevin Flanagan (saxophones) is a composer and senior lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, Chris Ingham (vocal/piano) is a music producer and author, Rev. Andrew Brown (bass) is the minister at the Unitarian Church, Cambridge and Russell Morgan (drums) is a Tai Chi instructor.
