Lunchtime Jazz: Ant Law & Brigitte Beraha

A spellbinding collaboration between leading UK guitarist Ant Law and extraordinary British-Turkish singer Brigitte Beraha sees them conjure up an intimate campfire atmosphere with a mix of evocative original material and timeless standards.

Their duo album Ensconced was released at the end of 2024 and they will play tunes from it today. Inspired by Law’s compositions, Beraha exhibits rich lyrical storytelling, from wistful memories of growing up in the south of France, to the more obscure tale of a gifted horse in Clever Hans. Her deeply expressive vocals, alongside Ant’s inventive and melodic acoustic guitar artistry, are the elements at the very
heart of this music.

Law says: “It’s incredibly rare for me to play the acoustic steel-strung guitar, but that instrument is at the centre of this album, alongside Brigitte’s voice. It’s also unusual for me to collaborate with vocalists/lyricists and I am amazed at the depth and colour Brigitte’s poetry has brought to this music.”
