Loose Tubes

Following their triumphant 30th Anniversary shows at Ronnie Scott’s last year and winning the 2015 Jazz FM Live Experience of the Year award, Loose Tubes are back.

Featuring most of the original lineup these masters of musical mayhem and genius in equal measure present six shows in support of their new album Arriving, a live recording taken from their 1990 Ronnie Scott’s farewell residency alongside three tracks commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and recorded at the club last year.

The band’s open-minded, risk-taking approach has influenced large ensembles across Europe.
