About
Tom Thorp & ILUMETRIS - Here, There be Monsters… acontece a 16 de outubro de 2026, New Adelphi, em Manchester.
Enter a murky and fantastical world of mythical beings…
Internationally award-winning saxophonist and composer Tom Thorp takes a journey through stories and characters from world mythology, with his quintet ILUMETRIS. Tom is joined by internationally renowned trumpeter Neil Yates (Mike McGoldrick Ensemble, Robbie Williams, BBC Big Band); pianist Andy Stamatakis-Brown (Alice Zawadski, Hacienda Classical); bassist Grant Russell (formerly of Go-Go Penguin) and drummer John Arnesen (The Big Easy, Ancient Infinity Orchestra).
In this new multi-media exhibition show, ILUMETRIS perform their critically acclaimed album "Here, There be Monsters…" (AMP Records) in an exciting collaboration with illustrator and animator AllMighty Steve (aka Steve Bridger). Blending virtuosic improvisation, complex grooves, spoken word and lyrical melody, Here, There be Monsters… tells timeless musical stories, through familiar characters from world mythology.
In this immersive musical and visual exhibition show, Bridger’s striking paintings, illustrations and animations transport listeners even deeper into the worlds of the minotaur, the majestic phoenix, clouds of destructive pixies, swooping dragons, vengeful giants and many more…
