On 25th and 26th November 2008, musicians Jo Freya (vocals, soprano sax and whistles), Warren Jolly (bass), Pat McCarthy (jazz guitar), Liam Robinson (accordion) and Dave Tomlinson (keyboards), joined forces at Alford Manor House to explore the various musical worlds and traditions that they hail from, ranging from jazz, rock/pop through to folk and world music.

The result was a performance of new work on the evening of the second day, open to the public, and a fitting opportunity to air the fruits of two days of intense creative activity.

This short residency was an opportunity to bring back together musicians who had previoulsy collaborated with American musician, Hawk Henries, in the Summer of 2007.It was a chance to reflect back on that experience and begin to plan for future initiatives.

The project was organised by Firebird together with the London Mozart Players East Lindsey Residency Steering Group with funds from Arts Council England's Grants for the Arts scheme. Firebird would like to thank Alford Manor House and East Lindsey District Council in particular for all their help in organising the event.
