Events on Friday 8th August

“After two lifetimes playing music, Moses T. Jones (harmonica player with the Mestizo Blues Collective) & Mick Clark (jazz/blues guitarist in Magic Robot) met in the Colston Hall foyer one fateful day & have been thrilling audiences with their raw brand of juke-joint blues ever since.”

“The mighty Jazz Jamaica has rightly earned its reputation as'one of the UK's leading good-time bands' (The Independent) from their many exuberant live performances and dynamic album releases over the past two and half decades. Trinity Arts Centre is thrilled to play host to this fantastic band when they make a very welcome return to Bristol led by their bassist and founder, Gary Crosby nephew of the great Jamaican guitarist, Ernest Ranglin.”

“Rich O'Brien's funk-fuelled bass and Celestine's soul-drenched vocals come together in this tasty selection of cool covers. Think Bill Withers, D'Angelo, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and you get the groove of things. Flesh out the picture with Anders Olinder (keyboards), Joe Price (guitar) and Barney Sage (drums) and very fine it looks too.”

“So - what sort of music do they make in Sark, the tiny and famously car-free Channel Island? To judge by their finest musical export The Recks pretty much anything goes, from psych-folk to electroswing and louche cabaret. Multi-genre peculiarity is what they claim and that's exactly what it is.”
