Longhand (which you can hear on our opening Gala Night of the Hear It NOW:Time Travel

Festival. He's also a tremendously in demand drummer with people like Veda Hille and

Fond of Tigers many others.

Why? You may ask ... because he is a great musician and improvisor. He brings sensitivity,

drive, intelligence, humour and passion.

Come and hear Skye play with Longhand Trio (with guitarist Tony Wilson and drummer

Russell Sholberg) as part of a kickass double bill on November 22. He also helms the

percussion chair on Friday, November 23rd with Orkestra Futura - with an amazing incarnation
