The Handover is an Egyptian/Belgian trio that plays hypnotic, trance-inducing music, inspired by the ritual rhythms of the Egyptian countryside. The trio masterfully combines the delicacy of classical Arabic music with the raw expressiveness of Egypt's rural and shaabi music, peppered with a good dose of psychedelic improvisation, kraut riffs and experimental sounds. The eponymous album on the American cult label Sublime Frequencies has been receiving raving reviews.Aly Eissa - Oud

He has been acclaimed as Probably the finest solo guitar player in the land, delivering a high-wire act that very few guitarists could pull off. Nick's music is based fundamentally in British folk, but also incorporates elements from American Primitive, Indian Classical music, free improv and a host of other sources. The resulting blend has been aptly described as a highly spirited series of wordless tales, captivating audiences in the UK, USA and Europe.
