Frakture Festival

Friday 06 October to Sunday 8th october

Frakture Festival of Improvised Music 2006 brings some of the best improvisers from around Britain and a couple from Europe for 3 nights in October. It even deviates from improvised music as Philip Thomas will play some compositions on the Friday, sharing the bill with fellow Sheffield improvising group the Navigators. On the Saturday are the power quartet of Bruise and the mysterious Fraktal. The Sunday will see the Anglo/German trio of Toot. Moving from Church to Art Gallery and back to Church this years festival will deliver an exciting breadth of music that is rarely available and shouldn’t be missed.

Supported by Arts Council of England (Arts Lottery): PRSF: foundation
