Percussionist and multi-instrumentalist James Larter has always been obsessed with rhythm; whether it be the roaring sound of Brazilian Samba or the intricate palette of the contemporary classical repertoire, music that makes people move is his passion.

The raw energy of James Larter should shock an idle audience – an hour of sizzling, sonic sounds.
