Nik Svarc Organ Trio

Leeds-based guitarist Nik Svarc leads his powerhouse organ trio, Svarc–Hanley–Longhawn (SHL). This collaborative band performs original music uniting jazz, funk, and improvisation, with a strong focus on group-written material and extended improvisation.

‘These three push all the buttons, tick all the boxes. You want funk? you got it? You want Jazz? It’s right there. Maybe you want to go a little towards the outside? They’ll take you there and bring you back in one piece.’ – Bebop Spoken Here

Line up: Nik Svarc – electric and acoustic guitar/loops 🎸, Martin Longhawn – organ/Wurlitzer/piano 🎹, Steve Hanley – drums/shaker/percussion 🥁

This gig is part of the ‘To Jazz Thru Life’ series, organised by JAZZCATZ CIC, supported by Arts Council England and hosted by The Birdcage Pub Lincoln.
