Vocalist and composer Karen Kay’s story songs are infused with odd characters, elements of magical realism and a sound palette with shades of blues, jazz and cabaret.

But… what happens if you take a collection of these songs, written using traditional structures and throw them open to skilled improvisors? Do they become fragments, like a song partially remembered? Which remain lyrical and which turn into tumult?

An evening of story, melody and mayhem with members of Oxford Improvisers.
