Current and past projects

Spanner Big Band

16-piece jazz orchestra

Led by the inimitable Dan Spanner with his boundless energy and enthusiasm. The band play regularly, a mix of classics and originals, making for a great evening's entertainment.

Dan Spanner Trio

Psychedekic punk jazz

Smashing jazz, psychedelia, hard rock and surreal poetry into a chaotic sonic storm. This isn’t background music—it’s a full-body experience. Part free-jazz explosion, part theatrical freak-out. Hypnotic soundscapes... improvisation, humour, and an unfiltered dose of musical anarchy...

Eddy Whirls

Sounds Like Thinking

Psychedelic experimental music exploring the sounds of thinking

spannertate

Folk duo

Two voices, guitar and violin.

Spanner Jazz Punks

Psychedelic Performance Art

The troublesome offspring of a frenetic marriage between sleazy punk jazz and psychedelic performance art.

Spannerman

Psychedelic prog

Seething with some kind of unfathomable angst, combining complex experimentalism with uniquely effected sax. Simultaneously aggressive and sophisticated but also supremely dance-able and fun.
