Ensemble Thing

We are Ensemble Thing. Since 2004 we have played new music throughout the UK and Europe and regularly perform in Glasgow, the place we call home.

Finally, after many Covid delays, we got into the studio to record some of @emily_doolittle's Jan Tait and the Bear! Thanks to @tcooper_music for recording us, and to Ryan Corbett (accordion) for playing with us for the first time.
