"I began playing with John Russell and Phil Durrant in 1984, meeting for weekly rehearsals. We performed as this trio up until 1998, but, early on, in 1986, we had the chance to invite Radu Malfatti and Paul Lovens to join us for an 8 date tour of England. It was soon clear that this quintet, then called Quaqua (Russell's name for particular ad-hoc groupings), was not a trio-plus-guests. Malfatti's emerging concerns with composition and silence, the trio's interactive language and Lovens' vast experience and range didn't provide an obvious consensus for the music we would play, but, as the tour progressed, News from the Shed became a group."-John Butcher
