Arthur Jeffes’ much loved collective Penguin Cafe are back and performing their eclectic array of genre-defying evocative pieces mixing Arthur’s beautiful compositions with some iconic PCO classics.
Originally brought together by Arthur to keep alive the music of his late father Simon Jeffes of the iconic Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Penguin Cafe have gone on to release four original and critically acclaimed albums; A Matter of Life… in 2011, The Red Book in 2014, The Imperfect Sea 2017 and Handfuls of Night in 2019, the latter two on Erased Tapes Records.
Arthur has also been working with Greenpeace and Aardman Animations, composing the soundtrack for a special film ‘Turtles Journey’, released to high acclaim in promotion of the campaign ‘Protect the Ocean’. The film has since won a Jury Prize in the ‘Commissioned Film’ category at the Annecy Festival 2020. His work with Greenpeace continues.
