Jazzient: Ambient Jazz for the Twilight Hours
Jazzient dissolves boundaries with a sound that drifts between jazz improvisation and ambient electronica. Built around expressive saxophone, lush guitar synth textures and live looping, each performance unfolds like a cinematic journey — soulful, spacious and full of unexpected turns.
There’s a warmth to Jazzient’s sets that suits the Green Table perfectly: music that rewards close attention yet remains effortlessly accessible, inviting listeners into a creative process happening in real time. No two performances are ever the same, but all carry that signature blend of elegance, curiosity and emotional depth.
For anyone who loves music that breathes and surprises, Jazzient offers a rare chance to sink into something fresh and beautifully crafted.
Dreamadelica: Cinematic Electronica with a Human Pulse
Dreamadelica, the evolving electronic project led by Gilbert Gabriel (The Dream Academy), brings a different kind of nocturnal magic. Blending dreampop atmospheres, ambient electronica and contemporary live performance, the trio create immersive soundscapes that move fluidly between song, improvisation and electronic texture.
The live lineup features Gabriel on keyboards and live mix, Peter Shearn (Jazzient) on treated guitar and looping, and Amanda Mullinger (The Kins) adding atmospheric vocals and flute. The result is a rich, cinematic set that draws on world‑music influences, Bristol‑school electronica and organic textures reminiscent of Deep Forest — all delivered with a sense of craft and spaciousness.
Dreamadelica’s performances feel like stepping into a dream‑sequence: layered, hypnotic and quietly transportive.
Hidden Coves: catchy melodies and reflective lyrics
HiddenCoves is an acoustic duet formed in 2022 by singer/songwriter Asha Merrington-Pink and Laurie Cox, their captivating performances and deep-rooted passion for music have left audiences wanting more.
Inspired by the breathtaking moors, serene beaches, and secluded coves of their southwest UK home, they beautifully incorporate the natural beauty and tranquillity of these landscapes into their music. Their songs carry an essence of the sea, the majesty of the moors, and the mystery of the coves, creating a unique and enchanting musical experience.
