“The reputations of the musicians in this stellar septet resulted in what was probably the largest attendance yet at a Music Spoken Here event at The Marr’s Barr. An enthusiastic and supportive audience enjoyed two sets of music with the programme including original compositions from the members of Hoop, including the absent Tom Walsh, plus favourite tunes from the Brecker Brothers and from John Scofield.” – Ian Mann
