Nik Svark + MG4
We welcome guitarist Nik Svark for his first visit as guest soloist. Last at the club as one third of Svarc Hanley Longhawn, Nik has performed with a wide range of jazz and pop artists and has played at numerous jazz festivals including Manchester, Marsden, Leeds, London and Lithuania.
His style of playing has been described as ‘constantly inventive’ and ‘a treasure trove of influences and styles’, making him ‘one of the most individual figures active on the British scene today’ (Matthew Bourne). ‘Svarc’s pedal board enables him to produce myriad looping sounds but it is his guitar playing that truly dazzles. (Bebop Spoken Here).
As well as a guitarist and composer, Nik also teaches Guitar at Hull University and is a Mentor at Leeds College Of Music. Tonight he’s backed by the MG4.
