Offspring Gypsies

The Lodge 119A Barney Street, ARMIDALE, NSW, Australia

Offspring Gypsies consists of five musicians dedicated to exploring the collaborative possibilities of improvised music. Drawing on a wealth of collective musical experience, each player brings both well-honed musical skill and an energetic sense of adventure to the improvised explorations created by the band.

Ash Hall (trumpet) hails from Armidale, and has been performing for a long […]
