Description

The Sheek Quartet is a group led by Cardiff based musicians Guy Shotton and Sarah Meek. The pair have developed a strong musical relationship over three years of working together and have recently formed a quartet with RWCMD drummer, Alex Goodyear and London bassist, Nick Kacal.

Their set draws on a wide array of musical influences; fresh, classical suffused arrangements of standards and borrowed melodies from the works of Debussy and Ravel rub shoulders with interpretations of Chick Corea and Kenny Kirkland compositions.
