Manchester based saxophonist and composer with a deep seated love for the modal and “spiritual” jazz of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. He has recorded three albums exploring this legacy for trumpeter Matthew Halsall’s Gondwana record label.
His latest release “World Without Form” (2012) appears on his own Sound Soul And Spirit label.
"There is a genuinely spiritual feel to Birchall's music that clearly has great resonance for contemporary jazz audiences."

"Birchall plays with conviction and soul and he also has a band with the chops and intelligence to put substantial meat on the bones of his compositions."
