His work is designed to bring joy, colour, and a sense of discovery to your walls. Each piece is layered with intricate details that reward closer viewing, encouraging curiosity and exploration.

Henry’s distinctive drawing style draws inspiration from artists such as Heath Robinson, Quentin Blake, and Martin Handford, blending humour, storytelling, and lively composition.

Haftor Medbøe and Konrad Wiszniewski perform at The Auld Kirk St Monans 

Thursday 28th May 7pm

having presented sell-out concerts at both Edinburgh and Glasgow international jazz festivals.

Their music draws on a breadth of contemporary sound worlds, fusing jazz, European folk and contemporary classical music, post-rock and shoe-gaze, in a lush and enveloping cinematic listener experience. With improvisation at its core, electronica meets acoustica head on through high energy feats of musical daring alongside spells of contemplative tranquillity in a rollercoaster ride of emotional complexity. At the heart of this music lies a search for the beauty of the human spirit propelled by bold melodies and sumptuously supportive harmonic soundscapes.

Their debut album, Poiesis was released in 2023 on compact cassette through Bangalore-based label Subcontinental Records and the limited edition run sold out within a fortnight. The album was nominated ‘jazz album of the month’ by Bandcamp and was featured live in session on BBC Radio Scotland. Their music has been described by the music press as:

Ethereal, expansive and thoughtful … improvisation at its finest. London Jazz News

Tout simplement Magnifique. Silence and Sound
