Saturday – Ant Law & Sylvie Noble

Line-Up:

Sylvie Noble  – Vocals

Ant Law – Guitar & Compositions

“Completely fulfilling and uplifting… jaw-dropping.” UK Jazz News. ‘Ensconced’ is an exciting duo collaboration between leading UK guitarist/composer Ant Law and celebrated Milan-born British/Turkish vocalist, composer and lyricist Brigitte Beraha. Their acclaimed debut album sees the duo conjure up a spellbinding set of music through poignant originals and reimagined timeless standards. Inspired by Ant’s compositions, Brigitte exhibits rich lyrical storytelling, from wistful memories of growing up in the south of France in ‘Who We Are’ to the more obscure tale of a gifted horse in ‘Clever Hans’. Her deeply expressive vocals, alongside Ant’s inventive and melodic acoustic guitar artistry, are the elements at the very heart of this music. Since releasing ‘Ensconced’ in 2024, Ant and Brigitte have been performing throughout the UK and in Europe, introducing spontaneous improvisations and explorations to their concerts. They continue to tour and develop brand new music, ahead of the eagerly awaited follow-up album.

Ant Law

British guitarist Ant lives in London and is “a game changer” and “an innovator” according to The Guardian.  His previous album ‘Same Moon in the Same World’ (Outside in Music) was released on 4th November 2022.

Same Moon is an ongoing collaboration between Ant and the brilliant saxophonist & composer Alex Hitchcock.
