Real name: Alfie Ryner

Alfie Ryner was formed in 2006 by five students at the Music Halle in Toulouse, all have since graduated. Loris Pertoldi (drums), Paco Serrano (saxophone/voice), Guillaume Pique (trombone), Gerad Gimenez (guitar) and Guillaume Gendre (bass) began by experimenting and building a repertoire before making their first public appearances in 2008. Their first album “Memorial 1” appeared in 2010 and from what I can ascertain told the story of the mysterious, roguish, trumpet playing fictional character of Alfie Ryner.
