Event information

Dave’s Manington’s Riff Raff is a dynamic ensemble of musicians that features vocalist Brigitte Beraha (Kenny Wheeler, London Jazz Orchestra), pianist Ivo Neame (Phronesis, Marius Neset), saxophonist Tomas Challenger (Foufolah/Red Snapper), guitarist Rob Updegraff (Beth Rowley/Zigaboo Modeliste) and drummer Tim Giles (Iain Ballamy/Art Farmer). The music is intimate and creative, with a delicate interplay forged from many years performing together. Brigitte and Dave also recently received the honour of an Ivors nomination for best Jazz small group composition in 2022.
"Riff Raff mix the leader's clever composing with a formidable lineup, …and the soundscape embraces a 21st century sax-led cool school sound, raw guitar-fusion, diffident Wayne Shorteresque lyricism, and vocals that showcase Beraha's eloquent lyrics and inventiveness as a wordless improviser."
