In 2024 they released their second album “Go Stop Go" but, tragically, soon after the recording of this album, long term bassist Chris was forced to depart the group due to ill health and was replaced by Aidan Thorne.
"Go Stop Go" received excellent reviews (see reviews section) and plans are now in place for a third album.
Gareth writes all of the music played by the quintet himself and describes his main influences as the music of Charles Mingus and Blue Note jazz of the 60’s.
Since the launch of their first album the Gareth Roberts Quintet have played at, amongst others, London, Brecon, Manchester, Glastonbury, Scarborough, Cheltenham and Teignmouth jazz festivals.
