On Saturday, the Kliphuis Trio, Tim Kliphuis (violin), Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (double bass), earned enthusiastic applause for an exciting and expertly blended performance. The Trio are on tour round Scotland. The pieces were improvisations and were clearly and interestingly introduced by Tim rather than by a formal programme. Improvisation takes many forms […]
