Vasilis Xenopoulos and Paul Edis began playing together 20 years ago, when they had both relocated to West London to study.
Originally from Greece, Vasilis had just finished studying at Berklee College in the US, whilst Paul had moved South from the North East of England.
In the intervening years they’ve played numerous gigs together, releasing first a duo album entitled A Narrow Escape (2016) followed by a quartet album entitled Feels Like Home (2024). Both albums received critical acclaim and radio play in the UK, Europe, and US.
In 2026, Vasilis and Paul joined forces with the outstanding Danish rhythm section of Torben Bjørnskov (double bass) and Anders Mogensen (drums) to record their latest album ‘A Place Called Home’ for the AMM Records, due for release this year.
This show will feature music from the new album.
