Faye MacCalman
Faye MacCalman (Workshop Host)

Faye MacCalman is a performer, composer-songwriter and improviser on saxophone, clarinet, voice and electronics. Faye fuses experimental songwriting with free-weaving melodies and enveloping rhythms drawing on jazz, folk and rock music inspired by under the surface emotional worlds; playfully merging magical realism with raw realities. 

In 2023 Faye was selected as artist in residence at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, and performs as a solo artist and as bandleader of jazz-art-rock adventurers Archipelago, nominated for UK Jazz Act of the Year in the Jazz FM Awards.

Faye's music has been described as ‘captivating’ by (NARC Magazine), and ‘moving…I lost myself’ (Huw Stephens, BB6 Music) and has seen her supporting luminary artists such as LA Harpist Mary Lattimore.

Faye has increasing strands of activism in her music, and in 2022 Faye debuted her AV installation 'Invisible Real'; highlighting anonymous experiences with mental illness within a dreamlike subconscious space, at Cheltenham Jazz Festival. For Faye's residency at The Glasshouse she developed 'Invisible Real' into an expanded live experience with ethereal visuals and music for a brand new ensemble of musicians including Faye. 

An in demand collaborator, Faye has worked with Maximo Park, Zoe Rahman, Arun Ghosh, The Unthanks, David Brewis, Daniel Casimir, Me Lost Me and John Pope. Faye’s music has been aired on BBC6 Music, NTS Radio, BBC Radio 3 and Worldwide FM, as well as making featured artist interview appearances on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and BBC6.

Sax Choir

Sax Choir is a monthly workshop on the first Sunday of the month 2 - 4.30pm at The Globe, Newcastle. All saxophone players (clarinettists too) of any ability are welcome, anyone who wants to enjoy playing and learning alongside other enthusiasts in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
?The Sax Choir play music from a wide range of genres - blues, jazz, folk, pop, klezmer, classical, with an increasingly stronger element of free jazz and willingness to explore unusual/unique harmonies and accompaniments. The choir learn tunes by ear and sometimes from printed arrangements (which can often get impro rewrites!.. so non-readers will be able to participate fully.) 

The Sax Choir aim to work in the great tradition of colliery bands with absolute beginners and professional level players learning and improving together believing everyone has a place in the single reed democracy. 

ALL WELCOME! No commitment needed. No punctuality needed. Listeners welcome too and not unheard of... 

Sax Choir sessions are free. Thanks to The Globe' learning and participation program' for their continuing support and Jazz North East for funding professionally led workshop(s)

We’re delighted that for this special festival edition Faye MacCalman will be running the Sax Choir alongside regular hosts Rachel Richman and Chris McConway.
