‘The Danny DeVito of free improvisation’, improvising trombonist Alan Tomlinson blows into North Yorkshire to perform one of the most extraordinary musical duets ever – with, and in, the River Seven in the beautiful valley of Rosedale. Alan will paint a sound-scape of a primordial world, inspired and accompanied by the music of the river.
