Whether playing solo or as a contributor to a large ensemble, Steve Beresford’s unending curiosity, passion, musical integrity and all round joie de vivre make his live performances captivating and truly memorable. Playing piano, trumpet, euphonium, bass guitar or any of his a idiosyncratic toy instruments, Steve Beresford has been a central figure in the European improvising scene for over thirty years working with the likes of John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker and Han Bennink. As a composer, musician and arranger, he is also a veteran of countless bands including the Slits, The Frank Chickens, The Flying Lizards and The Melody Four. He has composed music for numerous film and television projects.

‘Being involved in improvised music was the single most important factor in developing my understanding of music. Playing improvised music was a liberating force, a culture where you could ignore conventional rules, build up and formulate your own individual technique.’
Steve Beresford
