Fred Hills Quartet + Vera Noor

Drummer, composer & collaborator Fred Hills returns to The Brunswick for a special full band performance. Taking inspiration from a wide range of genres, Hills’ music is a captivating blend of contemporary jazz, alt-folk & indie. His debut EP ‘Incerto’, released via Ninja Tune, is ‘a tapestry of delicate and expressive guitars, eloquent strings and colourful rhythms’ - as described by popular music blog Indie Band Guru. 

Featuring Andrew Stuart-Buttle (violin/keys), Alfie Weedon (double bass) & Adam Johnson (drums). FFO: The Cinematic Orchestra, Jose Gonzalez, Gogo Penguin, White Denim.

'Fred Hills’ delicate guitar playing creates a dreamy atmosphere using various effects and from there, builds up layers of intensity that take the listener on a journey encompassing elements of prog, ambient and soundtrack music. Using both electric and acoustic guitars, Hills’ style is rich in grooves and riffs, but also very melodic. With a sound spanning from Soft Machine to Mammal Hands, yet still distinctive in its structure and creativity, Fred Hills Band certainly won the audience over with this impressive debut, and we hope to see them again on a Brighton stage very soon.'
