Events on Friday 10th January
“Starring Monae and “Avengers:Infinity War” actor Tessa Thompson, this dazzling visualisation of the phenomenal Janelle Monae’s concept album “Dirty Computer" (2018) takes us to the future where our protagonist is having her mind sterilised, but not before we’re taken through her memories, which are represented as each song on her album of the same name.”

“We're happy to welcome back 45's - an international party band consisting of Bobby, Jimmy and Dessy! Described as a covers act for people who don't like covers acts, these guys rock the place every time.”

“Another sousaphone powered brass ensemble, you cry? Well, maybe, but this lot are unashamedly into a heavy, heavy rock sound that slams like the dirtiest guitar pedal turned up to 11. Debut album Little Things was a big success and they roll into town with their follow-up waxing ready to burst like a pent-up volcano.”

“Five energetic brass blowers plus two tireless percussionists adds up to that modern New Orleans thing, blending the old-time sound of the Mardi Gras with snap-tight hip-hop beats into perfect party music.”

“I first heard Richard aka Fortuune at BYOT28. His was the final set of what was one of the most stylistically diverse and structurally broken BYOT events. His selections offered a reflective bookend; it was like riding the night bus home, ears still ringing after a night of pounding kick drums and aggressive bass lines. The set, rich with distant vocals and ethereal synths punctuated by clattering breaks, offered a stripped back echo of what came before it.”
