Roil: Raft of the Meadows
by John Sharpe
Established in 2007, Roil comprises three Australians from the Sydney jazz scene, sharing pianist Chris Abrahams with that other better known Antipodean combo The Necks.

The Necks at the Bishopsgate Institute
by Phil Barnes

The Necks: Open
by Phil Barnes
Not many artists would respond favourably to a question on how they felt about audience members falling asleep in one of their performances.
