Kirkgate Centre

Oppgard is a versatile Jazz collective based in the north of England, performing a mix of original pieces composed by members of the group, as well as a mix of standards and more from across the wide spectrum of Jazz.

Every member who plays with the band brings with them a unique take on the band's repertoire, making every performance a unique experience. Taking influences from Wayne Shorter, Kenny Garrett and Kurt Rosenwinkel, and inspiration from Japanese Jazz, Afro-Cuban and many other genres from around the world, leads to a rich cultural mixing pot for the listener to enjoy.

Having played twice before at Cockermouth Live, Oppgard is returning to the festival as part of their debut album release tour, featuring a full lineup of pieces composed by the band.
