Born Angus Fairbairn, Alabaster DePlume is a spoken word poet and saxophonist based in London and Manchester. In 2015 he began doing an improv jazz series called Peach at London’s Total Refreshment Centre, putting out an album of the same name. In 2020 he released To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1, named after two men he assisted as a mental health support worker, followed in 2022 by the critically acclaimed Gold. DePlume’s new album, Come With Fierce Grace, is released on International Anthem on 8 September. This month he plays We Out Here festival, Green Man and Stowaway; he tours in November.
