“Shallow Roots are a Bristol based six-piece band playing music influenced by Spain, Africa and Central America. The combination of soprano and tenor saxes with two guitars, vocals and percussion makes a music which is intimate and gentle yet also rhythmic and quite danceable. Band members are Rob Vasey (guitar, vocals), Jonathan Hyams (guitar, vocals), Romilly Gibbs (soprano sax), Jamie Darwen (tenor and soprano saxes), Kostka Garcia (bass) and Julie Beckett (percussion and backing vocals).”

“Swordfish Trombone are an unbelievable Tom Waits cover band made of Bristol's absolute best. This may well be the first ever cover band at the Leftbank but there is no one better to take that virginity. With Katya Gorrie from Moscow Drug Club fronting the band delivering Tom's truly unique lyrics. Supporting her is a perfect combination of Bristol's musical A-team.”
