"Rarely is a whole room enraptured by music they've heard in the main for the first time" says Ronnie Scotts promoter, Paul Pace, about The Weave. Headed by not one, but by two trumpets and guitar, this lively Liverpool-based sextet is newly formed but with members who are definitely not 'new on the block'.

Inventive, upbeat, celebratory, refreshing, arresting and energetic are amongst the terms used by their reviewers, all delivered with striking musicianship and a dose of Liverpudlian wit
