About this concert
Tonight is the official album launch of the ‘Celtic Wheel of the Year’, a series of 8 pieces representing the 8 parts of the Celtic Wheel, bringing a much-needed celebration of nature, connection, and renewal to our fragmented times. The first single is released TODAY on Ubuntu Records, physical copies will be available at the event.
The suite features 17 of the UK's finest jazz musicians, and begins with Summer Solstice, the longest and lightest day of the year and moves through the metaphorical and literal wheel, becoming increasingly dark and tenebrous, before returning at the end of the cycle back to light and luminosity.
N.B. TWO shows, 7.30 and 9.30, please make sure you click on the correct event in the ticket link.

Josephine Davies Biography
Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the year’, Josephine Davies is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene. She has 4 album releases on Whirlwind Recordings with her trio Satori, and is known for her melodic focus, versatility and unique style as an instrumentalist.
Now becoming equally known as a composer, her unique voice is a blend of classical, jazz and folk music, creating an intensely dynamic sound infused with the Nordic quality of her Shetland roots. Josephine was resident composer and tenor player for the London Jazz Orchestra from 2012-2018, leaving at that time to form The Enso Ensemble, with its debut release coming soon on Ubuntu Records.
“Josephine Davies’s Satori project is becoming a joy to watch unfold over the years… Davies has created something a little bit perfect in itself.”
