Georgia Mancio Quartet
[]
Georgia Mancio's music reflects her Anglo-Latino background, with a lineage that goes back to her Italian grandparents (an opera singer and concert pianist) and then to her Uruguayan great-grandmother, also a pianist. Her music and lyric writing are greatly influenced by her affinity with languages; she sings in English, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Since turning professional in 2000 she has worked with Bobby McFerrin, Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw, Bobby Wellins, Gwilym Simcock and Darius Brubeck, as well as Kate Williams, with whom she collaborated most recently on the Finding Home album and tour, a memorable set of songs about homecomings inspired by her visits to the refugee camp in Calais.

Kate Williams was also born into a musical family: her father is the guitarist John Williams; her mother is a classical pianist. She has gained a distinctive reputation as both a writer and a performer, most recently with her ensemble Four Plus Three featuring her trio with string quartet. She has worked with Chris Biscoe's Mingus Moves project, The Pete Hurt Jazz Orchestra, Tina May, Henry Lowther, Stan Sulzmann, John Etheridge, Julian Siegel, Tim Whitehead and Karen Sharp.

Julie Walkington started her musical career playing on electric bass with various rock, indie and folk bands in the north of England and the USA. Her love of jazz led her to move to London where she studied at the Guildhall School of Music. Julie has worked with many of London's jazz musicians such as Claire Martin, Huw Warren, Jim Mullen, Tony Coe and Barb Jungr with whom she also toured extensively.

Dave Ohm is one of the most recognised names in the UK jazz scene. He has worked with Benny Golson, Gregory Porter, Wessel Anderson, Claire Martin and makes regular appearances with the Ronnie Scott's house band.
