Still Waters was born out a long association and friendship going back 40 years between Henry Lowther and Britain’s premiere bassist Dave Green – the band is now one of the most accomplished and creative bands in the country.
Although a classic quintet of two front line and rhythm, Still Waters plays radical and original music, ranging from gentle, quietly pastoral and melodic music, reflecting the band’s name, through to dynamic, free improvisation. The main thing to say about it is that it is indeed a band – not just a collection of individual musicians; in other words the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. The level of creativity, adventure and interplay on gigs never ceases to astonish audiences; no two gigs are ever the same.
Featuring Henry Lowther (trumpet), Dave Green (bass), Paul Clarvis (drums) and Pete Hurt (saxophone), Still Waters is truly an unmissable experience.
“Lowther and Hurt’s compositions are subtly effective and the players took them as inspiration for some small miracles” A review by Jon Turney for the Bristol Jazz Log.

Interdisciplinary artist Elspeth Hamilton, who has also worked as an architect, glass artist, teacher, writer and environmental educator, presents an exhibition which spans over 40 years of work and focuses thematically on seascapes, riverscapes and portraits. 
Her expressive paintings explore the language between figuration and abstraction, and are preoccupied with the tension Hamilton sees between ‘rough and smooth’, both in terms of the forces of nature, and our experience of life. It was a preoccupation she first realised on the Pembrokeshire coast where she was fascinated by the stillness of a rock pool juxtaposed with the wild sea. On the coastline in Dominica, she depicts the effects of erosion on the dramatic cliffs. In Spain, she captures an approaching storm and in Cornwall the elemental drama where sea meets rugged cliffs.

Tom Scase
A restless mind at work and play

Due to the unfortunate cancellation of the Eugenia Alekseyev exhibition, Highgate Gallery is pleased to announce that artist Tom Scase will show in her place.
A restless mind at work and play.
The exhibition will feature unseen archive work alongside recent insights. Scase employs joyful use of colour juxtaposed with sinister undertones that call into question our perception of space and relationship with nature, through drawing, painting, photography and collage. Tom’s work is organic and rhythmic. A restless mind at work and play provides a rare opportunity to see how connections evolve.
