Alcyona Mick is a London based pianist and composer, nominated for a Parliamentary Jazz instrumentalist award in 2023.

Calum Gourlay was born in Glasgow and grew up playing in Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra, The National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland and Tommy Smith's Youth Jazz Orchestra, in which he was the very first bassist selected from across Scotland aged 16. In 2004 he was the only bassist enrolled for the jazz course at The Royal Academy of Music. He graduated with first class honours in 2008. He has held the acoustic bass chair with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Tommy Smith, since 2006. He has also featured prominently with Tommy Smith's own quartet. Since 2018 Calum has been a professor of Jazz Bass at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

Accomplished percussionist Paul Clarvis has performed with everyone you know and on everything you love. Clarvis was the late Leonard Bernstein's preferred London percussionist and helped Rick Smith with the drum arrangement for the London Olympics 2012 show-stopping opening, as well as having worked with high-profile musicians like Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder, Sir Paul McCartney, and Elton John.

His film slate is just as impressive, including memorable films like “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” “The Chronicles of Narnia,” “Twilight,” “Skyfall,” “Tron,” “Shrek,” and “The Hobbit.” Beyond his ongoing and in-demand work as a session musician, Clarvis is also an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music.
