On Saturday we were treated to a memorable and intimate performance from Jilly Jarman and Geoff Bartholomew
On piano, vocals and flute, Jilly delivered joyous melodies and heartfelt reflections drawing on her original compositions and inspiration from beloved artists.
Geoff's trumpet prowess shone with technically complex rhythmic pieces and contemplative lyrical passages. Subtly-handled electronics lent further textures to the performance.
The pair complemented each other beautifully, resulting in a varied and multi-layered set and some very special moments indeed. We didn't want it to end!
