Les Gillon & The Agents Of Karma
Les Gillon & The Agents of Karma is a 5 piece acoustic line-up that features acoustic guitar, cello, piano, violin and hand percussion. Les Gillon is a Calderdale based singer, songwriter and guitarist who is best known as frontman of the alt-rock band Fez, but who throughout his long career has explored a whole range of musical territories, including experimental collaborations with dance and performance practitioners and longstanding work with folk trio Ghost School and improvisation collective Fire Tower 4.
This line-up takes his music into a very different context, by bringing together a group of great musicians from the worlds of jazz, classical and folk music. The result is a unique sound, sometimes intimate, sometimes cinematic, that defies categorisation and underpins the lyrical intensity of the songs.
The band’s debut album The Underground Session is available on all platforms and a new 4 song EP is available from 1st May.
