Fat Suit

For the past decade or so, Glasgow’s fertile jazz scene has been epitomised in terms of musical ambition and cultural reach by the jazz-funk-folk collective Fat-Suit. An ensemble of indeterminate size - somewhere between eight and twenty-eight might be a safe estimate - Fat-Suit has somehow managed not just to retain musicians’ loyalties and maintain high standards but to keep moving forward.

Influence of the modern jazz greats combine with noughties indie guitar riffs, 90s dance sounds, and timeless groove and funk. Their softer side opens up to folk melodies with celtic roots. Equally at home on a late night festival slot, jazz club, or concert hall, some recent performance highlights include Love Supreme Jazz Festival, Boomtown, Vsetin Jazz Festival (CZ), Budapest Jazz Club, and Jazzdock (Prague) and Jazz Nights at the Quay alongside Jacob Collier.
