The Frakture Big Band has become an important part of Liverpool’s musical life, acting as a conduit for musical exchanges, a meeting point for musical experimenters and a living laboratory for the experimental minded. Participation in the Frakture Big Band can vary between 5 and 15.

Initially The Frakture Big Band was managed by Phil Hargreaves and became a distinctive creative music ensemble. After a period of change it became a more informal “pick-up” band or private rehearsal ensemble.

Recently the The Frakture Big Band has evolved into a projects-ensemble that re-invents its own personnel, criteria and creative method as appropriate to each project.

The Frakture Big Band is currently being curated and managed by Adam Webster and Phil Morton.
