Alabaster DePlume live in London

Experience Alabaster DePlume live on October 16th

Alabaster DePlume, the project led by musician and poet Angus Fairley, presents a unique sound blending jazz improvisation, spoken word, and elements of alternative and experimental music. Often described as ‘jazz poetry’, DePlume’s work frequently incorporates themes of social observation, personal reflection, and a search for meaning within everyday life. Instrumentation typically includes saxophone – Fairley’s primary instrument – alongside piano, bass, and drums, though arrangements are often fluid and adaptable.

The artist has released several critically acclaimed albums including *The Makeover*, *A Blue Room* and *Golden Retriever*. Performances are known for their dynamic energy and interplay between band members, frequently extending beyond traditional song structures into extended improvisational passages.

London holds a significant place in DePlume’s artistic development. The city's vibrant jazz scene has been instrumental in shaping his musical approach; he has been a consistent presence on the London gig circuit for over a decade, collaborating with numerous musicians based in the capital. London's history as a hub for both literary and musical innovation provides a context for DePlume's work which draws heavily from both disciplines.
