Events on Friday 19th February

“Fronted by the great Ben Baddoo's vocals and percussion Baraka make vibrant pan-African music with a Caribbean undertow, plenty of rhythm and a rich instrumental sound that takes you from Kingston to Kinshasa and back again. http://www.barakamusic.co.uk”

“Can you remember the last time an album really lifted you by the lapels with its instantly memorable melodies and hooks, and wouldn't put you down until it had finished, 11 infectious tracks later? Exactly. It doesn't happen every day, or every month, but it's about to happen with the Hummingbirds' long-awaited debut album'Pieces Of You.'”
From: The Hummingbirds

“The Inexplicables defy explanation. Their unique blend of live dance music oozes energy and originality. Driven by beatbox and sumptuous vocals, with tricky wordplay, raw bass and rich sax melodies; they take you on a visceral journey through reggae, hip-hop and latin to electro-swing, drum'n' bass and dubstep.”
From: The Inexplicables

“They serve up a slice of the Bee Gees with a sprinkling of Jay-Z, a squeeze of Dolly Parton, a dash of Lady Gaga, and a shot of MC Hammer, a wee dram of Paolo Nutini, topped off with a garnish of Beyonce.”

“Milon - A Bristol-based quartet striking the perfect balance between groove-inducing rhythms and face-melting sonic outbursts. Saxophone, double bass, drums and guitar harmonise beautifully with one another before taking a violent turn, gradually descending into a darker beast entirely. The group handle this anarchic transition brilliantly, utilising repetition to such a hypnotic degree it feels like you're the unwitting participant of a rollercoaster ride through the depths of hell. Powerful stuff.”
