Isocooks

The Iso Cooks are Eugene Ball (trumpet), Geoff Hughes (guitar), Ronny Ferella (drums) and Nick Haywood (bass). During Lockdown 2020 the quartet met weekly, via Zoom, to cook meals together and discuss the problems of the world.
In the same way that each quartet member would bring along a recipe for everyone to cook during lockdown, in performance each player brings along original music to share. The Iso Cooks’ performances feature open, collaborative, original compositions with lots of sauce!
