The Weave

The Weave is a collection of truly world class Liverpool based Jazz musicians playing a repertoire of warm, melodious and largely friendly home grown tunes. For years now Liverpool has been home to a small but extremely vibrant and healthy Jazz community.

The Weave harnesses these qualities and aims to present them to a national and eventualy international audience.

Phil Hargreaves

phil hargreaves is a Liverpool-based instrumentalist and composer working in the field of improvised and experimental music.

The Weave: The Weave

By BRUCE LINDSAY

From the perspective of an east of England jazz writer, it can seem like Manchester has the north east's jazz scene to itself, with Liverpool, its near neighbour, putting up little in the way of competition. It's not that Liverpool is un-musical--it is after all the home city of Gerry And The Pacemakers--but its impact on ...
