Orange Claw Hammer take the music of Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band and bend it into shape for the 21st century. Founded in 2011 by musician & composer Steve Kettley (Pygmy Twylyte, Cauld Blast Orchestra, Salsa Celtica, Odd Times), the band’s sax driven, mostly instrumental reworkings of Don Van Vliet’s back catalogue highlight the blues, jazz and experimental roots of this music. A million miles from being a tribute act, Orange Claw Hammer take classics of avant-rock from the 60s through to the 80s and use them as vehicles for improvisation and re-invention for contemporary sensibilities – and Beefheart fanatics!

Steve Kettley – tenor & soprano saxes, voice

Stuart Allardyce – guitar

Dave Beards – bass

Des Travis – drums

Swiss drummer Florian Arbenz proves once again he’s more than a brilliant drummer—he’s a curator of unforgettable musical chemistry. In this exciting new Organ Trio, he unites Dutch Hammond virtuoso Arno Krijger and US saxophone legend Chris Cheek. Rooted in the rich tradition of the Hammond sound, yet boldly exploring new musical territory, this cross-continental collaboration delivers both depth and surprise. Krijger’s extraordinary technique—playing bass with his feet—frees his hands to create orchestral textures, making every performance a visual and sonic spectacle. Together, this trio promises a thrilling, boundary-pushing jazz experience that captivates ears, eyes, and imagination.

Chris Cheek – saxophones

Arno Krijger – Hammond B organ

Florian Arbenz – drums

“Florian Arbenz knows just who to call and making magic happen in the room…” – Anthony Dean-Harris, Downbeat Magazine
