Guitarist Francis Tulip is one of a new young generation of North East jazz musicians who have been making a major impression both for their technical fluency and – more importantly – for their levels of creativity. After graduating with honours at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and winning the Conservatoire’s Jazz Performance Prize, he continues to lead ensembles and play with some of the leading lights on the UK jazz scene.
Francis has now joined the vibrant London jazz scene and is studying at the prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire.
North east based guitarist Joe Steels plays regularly around Newcastle, involved in various groups. At Birmingham conservatoire he studied with Jean Toussaint, Percy Pursglove among others. He has done gigs with Ross Stanley, Andy Panayi and Arnie Somogyi. He leads his own group Borealis, set to release their debut recording in 2023.
