Anna Chandler-King with the Flawd House Band

Flawd

Anna Chandler-King saxophone / Bim Williams guitar / Andy Patterson double bass / Ruben Sheridan drums 

Anna is a jazz saxophonist based in Leeds. She has a deep passion for a broad variety of genres; performing heavily improvised contemporary music, roasting at high tempos or pulling out a Johnny Hodges impression. 

Her musical approach has always been to take lessons from the many parts of this music she loves, and to tie it together with an emotive, melodic approach. 

Whilst she normally makes sure she plays at least one composition by Charles Mingus on every gig, this time she’ll be bringing a set almost entirely comprised of his works, joined by the Flawd House Band. Expect some of his classics and some deep cuts. 

“Particularly impressive was Anna Chandler on alto, who soared like an early Art Pepper or Paul Desmond – keep an eye out for her, she’s the absolute real deal.” – Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here

Rising star of the UK jazz scene, clarinet player and vocalist Giulia Marro will be releasing her fully original debut album in March 2025. 

Having studied under jazz heavyweights at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and Royal Conservatoire The Hague (Benjamin Herman and Mike Williams), Giulia’s playing is steeped in tradition and inspired by the reflections of Barney Bigard and Jimmy Giuffre. 

Giulia has led bands at popular jazz venues across the UK and captivates audiences with her warm, vibrato-filled clarinet playing, inspired by clarinet greats Barney Bigard and Artie Shaw. Giulia is also a vocalist and takes inspiration from the likes of Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae and many more. 

As well as being an accomplished band leader, Giulia has also performed alongside Pete Horsfall and Xhosa Cole.
