Joe Hill's North Ark is a septet made up of some of London's top musicians. Between them they have played nationally and internationally with names such as Liane Carroll, James Maddren, Alan Barnes and The National Youth Jazz Orchestra, as well as receiving numerous accolades such as British Rising Star (Rory Ingham) and BBC Young Jazz Musician Finalist (Tom Smith). The band come together in this project to play Joe's exciting original compositions and arrangements, which aim to engage not just jazz lovers but fans of any genre, and therefore concentrate on a wide variety of elements such as grooves, improvisation, accessible harmonic sequences, melodic writing and odd time signatures.

At once a poet’s autobiography, a theatrical song cycle, and a journey through the romantic imagination and the national soul of Ireland, “In the Deep Heart’s Core” follows the life of the Celtic visionary poet and activist
William Butler Yeats, moving through dreams and heartbreaks toward ultimate spiritual triumph. “In the Deep Heart's Core” opened in 1994 at Chicago's Bailiwick Repertory Theatre to unanimous critical acclaim, receiving a 1995 Jeff Citation for Outstanding
Original Music, and was featured at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C., a four-week run at Virginia's nationally-known Barter Theatre, a four-week run at Philadelphia's Movement Theatre International, and a national tour. Summer of 2015 marked
a first for the work: a tour of Ireland during the international celebration of the 150th anniversary of W. B. Yeats’s birth.

The new group includes the composer, Joseph Sobol, who directs the George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling at University of South Wales; the brilliant Russian-English folksinger Daria Kulesh, and virtuoso pianist
Marina Osman.

“…some of the best – and I mean best – musicians in the UK. Or anywhere, come to that” Paul Jones, BBC Radio

Sam Kelly’s Station House is a “groove/funk” band with dancing very much in mind.
