Tim Kliphuis Trio
Award-winning violinist Tim Kliphuis is a legend in the gypsy world. His Trio with Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (bass) perform “the most breathtaking instrumental show you’ll hear this year” – an exciting and profoundly musical blend of gypsy jazz, classical and folk music. The Tim Kliphuis Trio were founded in 2006, after meeting in a small Russian cultural café in Glasgow called Café Cossachok. Starting out with Grappelli jazz on their first tours in the Scottish Highlands - including SEALL - they quickly developed a personal sound including other styles and repertoire from classical and folk music. Tim Kliphuis combines dazzling perfection and complete musical freedom like no-one else in the world. Nigel Clark (guitar) has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and pop throughout the last 15 years and has toured the world as a leader, sideman and accompanist. Roy Percy (double bass) has been a driving force in many bands since the 1980s. His unique bass slapping techniques, unrivalled in Europe, and his subtle dynamic feel make for a great range of emotions.Date: 14/03/16
