Hullabaloo will explore some of the mysteries and paradoxes of ways of making music that combines simple playfulness with extra- ordinary skill.

Featured are some the UKs leading improvisers like the trombonist Robert Jarvis and multi -instrumentalist Jenny Bliss. The music will range from the ancient to the modern, from baroque and medieval music to electronics, together with film, performance and live visual art.

The festival also includes locally based performers like actor and theatre director Ged Stephenson, artist Michael Fairfax and film makers Hannah Earl and Richard Tomlinson. Also features is the percussionist Adam Bushell who grew up near Taunton and now lives in Brighton.
