Chris Dowding's #BEACHfest

An evening exploring short intervallic pieces from the ‘BEACH’ project by Chris Dowding - in solo, duo and trio groupings, including renowned UK musicians such as trombonist Annie Whitehead, guitarist Anton Hunter, trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe, drummer Johnny Hunter and others. #BEACHfest will be a mini-festival exploring pieces from and related to the year-long 'BEACH' subscription project by Chris Dowding that has been running from November 2023 to November 2024.

The project was initiated around solo acoustic trumpet recordings and performances by Chris, from which included uploading a recording to the subscription each month for a year, and which will culminate in a CD release of the whole set of recordings, alongside the whole album being available publicly on Bandcamp. the subscription project also included photography by John Boursnell and others. #BEACHfest will explore the pieces from the project - short intervallic pieces each named after a Norfolk beach - in different groupings, including a duo with Chris and trombonist Kieran McLeod, a trio with two Manchester-based musicians Anton Hunter and Johnny Hunter, a short solo set, and a duo between trombonist Annie Whitehead and trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe.
