Music - Jazz/latin
It's possible that there will be a football match that's in high demand at 8pm on Sunday 11 July. We shall know after Weds 7 July. If so, we may move this concert to begin at 5pm and show the EURO 2020 final on the big screen in the Arts Centre. All ticket holders will be notified by email (check spam).

Paul May (drums) and Carolyn Hume (piano, keys) have been playing and recording together for over 20 years. They have released 6 critically-acclaimed albums on Leo Records (a world-famous specialist record label based in Kingskerswell!) and have a new duo album ready for release in early 2021.


Hume and May are a piano/keys and drums duo. Their music moves from minimalist romanticism to unsettling and remote landscapes.

??the pianist Hume and the drummer May create a beguiling soundscape whose delicate shifts of mood and texture are simple but extraordinarily effective. ??
Phil Johnson, The Independent

?intriguing and often haunting?
Andy Hamilton, Jazz Review

Here are recordings of the first concert Carolyn and Paul played at the Arts Centre in May 2019 (they take a while to get into ? put them on in the background and see what you think):
