Fred Frith is a composer, improviser and educator best known for his pioneering extensions of the electric guitar. This is the first of Frith’s two-night run at Roulette, the final events of his 75th birthday celebrations.

“if (you) haven’t seen Fred improvise solo, (you) must. Just to see him live, it has to be done. It’s one of the wonders of the world.” —Marc Ribot

“Fred Frith is a great drummer.” —Miles Davis

“Frith should be sellotaped to Derek Bailey and pushed off a cliff.” —Skelidude, YouTube
