Neil Cowley Trio

The Neil Cowley Trio reunites to perform their outstanding new album, Entity, alongside fan-favourite Cowley classics. A magnificent return to form with head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies, emotionally charged pieces with a glass-like fragility laced throughout. Expect a powerful performance of deeply impassioned music and hooks aplenty complete with Cowley’s infectious wit and playfulness.
