Eternal Triangle plays the music of Trevor Watts: compositions originally inspired by rhythmic structures from Africa and South America as well as jazz and European musical forms.
The trio is built on two duos: Veryan and Trevor first played together in Trevor’s “Moiré Music” in the early 1980s and since then have had a long collaboration in the ‘Dialogues’ project where their work as open improvisers was explored together for many years worldwide. The second duo consists of Jamie and Trevor where Jamie was involved in Trevor’s ‘Celebration Band’ in the 2000s and later in a very successful duo touring worldwide and recording several CDs. The third duo with Veryan and Jamie is yet to be explored!
In July 2021 the three musicians began working together on some beautiful new pieces specifically conceived by Trevor. The development of these compositions, for instance, can happen during rehearsals or during a concert. Any player in the group can discover something new within each piece, and therefore the compositions are ever changing. The strengths of this trio are like the durable and inert strength of a triangle, where each side supports the other – ‘Eternal Triangle’. This is a music with a depth that is both expansive and honest.

See Access, Tickets & Finding Us for more about why there are three ticket prices, plus other useful info about coming to events at Ashburton Arts Centre: getting here, parking, loos, PA tickets, etc.
* We usually have three ticket prices – please pay what you can. If you can pay the full price, that’s great. If choosing a cheaper ticket allows you to come to more things, then please do! Ticket receipts are split between the artists (it’s usually their livelihood!) and the arts centre (keeps the place going). Except on the rare occasions when we have a sellout gig on our hands, it’s always better to have someone here in the audience than an empty seat, so genuinely, please pay whatever you can.
