Polar Bear - Galway Jazz Festival

Event Information

 Mark Lockheart-tenor saxophone/Pete Wareham - tenor saxophone

Leafcutter John-electronics/Tom Herbert-bass/Seb Rochford-drums

"Unburdened both by punk primitivism and by improv's disdain for its audience, bands like Polar Bear are the most exciting development for years in post-jazz music."- BBC Music


From London comes  drummer Seb Rochford and  Polar Bear, named  for  an animal that  can appear cuddly, but is  equallly capable of violent flare ups.  Its an  apt metaphor for this Mercury nominated  quintet's  indie band ethos that melds clever jazz composition with electronica mash ups and turns from  delicate to abrasive in a heartbeat.
