Sanders' and Butcher's paths have been crossing for almost 25 years. In 1993 they performed and recorded in Steve Beresfrod's sextet, Fish of the Week - and in 2011 began working on Christian Marclay's Everyday.
Recent collaboration has mainly been in duo - and two live CDs have resulted.
Two Freedom of the City (2010) reviews include descriptions of their early afternoon set.
