Hidden Orchestra’s second album ‘Archipelago’ is a sonic manifesto of all that the live jazz band stand for. Equally experimental and accessible their resplendent sound melds the electronic with the acoustic and is fueled by emotion. They’ve garnered a reputation for putting on a spellbinding live show formed around the dueling drum kits, percussion and electronic pads of Jamie Graham and Tim Lane, kept in check and on point by composer Joe Acheson and topped off with the soulful violin strings and plaintive piano of Poppy Ackroyd. This is a night not to be missed.
