Dark Matter Promotions presents Awen Ensemble & special guests

Awen, meaning ‘poetic inspiration’ in Welsh, outlines the intention of their music to explore folkloric heritage, landscape and the human mind, inspiring audiences to reflect on and connect with these subjects. Playing both vocal-led and instrumental work, the outfit take inspiration from modal tradition, spiritual, jazz, and folk music found across the globe, creating compositions that are melodically focused and groove driven. Featuring spoken word, shimmering instrumentation and a Celtic mystique, Awen Ensemble bring a unique offering to the jazz table.

With Mother Sugar, a fusion of jazz, neo-soul, R&B and folk. It is like nothing you have heard before!
