Either as a duo (With James Ross, Innes Watson or Andy May)
or as The Tom Oakes Ensemble (Formerly 'Experiment')
Multi award winning, Edinburgh based flautist and guitarist Tom Oakes presents his new solo project showcasing the diverse compositions that have become the heart of his many projects. From the genre defying Nu-Nordic pioneers 'Auvo Quartet' to the stage melting, powerhouse duo 'Ross Couper and Tom Oakes' and his many forays into cinematic, classical and improvised material.
Oakes' music is known to transcend genre referencing contemporary classical, jazz and eastern influences along the way whilst still being firmly rooted in the Irish, Scots and Scandinavian traditions. Tom is joined by an all star line-up of James Ross (Mc Fall's Chamber, Michelle Burke) on Piano, Iain Sandilands / Calum McEntyre (Grit Orchestra, Jenna Reid, Adam Holmes, Julie Fowlis) on Percussion and Stuart McPherson (Grit Orchestra, Langan Band) on Double Bass.
Occasional members also include Andy May (Baltic Crossing) on Pipes/Keys.
Adam Sutherland (Treacherous Orchestra) on Fiddle and
Daniel Thorpe (Tyde, Malinky) on Fiddle
