SUMMARY:The Hectet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:15 PM - 1 set of music\n \nLine-up:\nHector McLachlan - Piano\nLily Shaw - Tenor saxophone\nJamie Pye - Electric guitar\nHarrison Scholes - Double bass\nMyele Manzanza - Drum kit\n\n \nAbout:\nThe Hectet is the melodious jazz project of Hector McLachlan: a pianist\, composer and producer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara\, New Zealand. His creative practice is rooted in deep listening and historical materialism\, informing a varied and multi-disciplinary output. Hector’s compositions use heraldic melodies\, and blend acoustic and electronic elements\, to conjure forces of history and emotion.\n\nThey will be presenting an exclusive set of music for their London debut\, with a unique and world-class line-up of musicians from the Wellington scene who are living in London.\n\nHector has written\, arranged and produced three albums of original music. The latest is French Politics (2026) by The Hectet\, an ambitious and conceptual work that follows their debut\, Here Comes The Hectet (2025). His first record\, an album of evocative electronic works called Forest Music (2018)\, was released on Virginia-based cassette label Become Eternal.\n\nAs a session musician\, Hector has toured Aotearoa and the world with acts like The Teskey Brothers\, Revulva\, Salvia Palth and Rachel Andie\, performing at prestigious venues like Glastonbury's Other Stage and The Montreux Jazz Festival\, as well as on radio and TV. On top of this\, he has contributed to many high-level recording and performance projects within the New Zealand music community.\n\n[embed]https://hectormclachlan.bandcamp.com/album/french-politics[/embed]
