Mark Williams is a guitarist, composer, and tutor from Belfast who moved to Newcastle in 1999 to complete a BMus (Hons) in Jazz, Popular, and Commercial music.
Since then, he has worked with some of the top musicians in the country and formed his own trio to showcase his compositional and improvisational talents. The trio has released two albums, Balaclavé Street and Last Bus to Bensham. Their third album, Long Way Out, was released on 1 December.
Known for their distinctive compositions and the use of effects and loops, the Mark Williams Trio creates a unique modern sound that sets them apart from the traditional guitar-led jazz trio.
“Williams' playing is outstanding.”
“The trio's compositions are utterly distinctive and serve as great vehicles for fine playing from all three members of the trio.”
