A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Saturday 2nd December. The event starts at 22:00pm.
This is the last Midnight Ritual of 2017 and it will be a FREE ENTRY event! We'll be celebrating with the outstanding afro-beat masters No Go Stop live and with Area Boys on the decks. PantherPanther will be hosting of course with the usual AV awesomeness from Hot Cheeks and Bimblot. DONT MISS IT!!!
No Go Stop:
The mighty 12-piece No Go Stop are much more than a tribute to past glories, they are a living, breathing evocation of the life-force that is Afrobeat. Boasting an impressive repertoire of self-penned, new material, they have recently released their debut record "Agbara Orin”. Driving percussion, brass encrusted rhythms and epic instrumental solos set the pace while echoes of Old Soul from Marie Lister’s Vocals, catch the timeless quality of that ancestral funk sound. No Go Stop are truly on a mission to bring something exciting and new whilst staying true to Fela Kuti's musical mission to present the heart of jazz with the soul of Africa and keep you dancing till dawn. Web: http://nogostop.co.uk "The Bristol band have a real feel for what Fela Kuti and Tony Allen created 40 years ago...No Go Stop sound like real contenders for the contemporary Afrobeat crown." - Songlines 2015
Area Boys:
Area Boys are a afro-global-bass DJ duo from Bristol.
Area Boys is a DJ project conceived as the answer to the lack of contemporary international, especially African dance music in the Bristol music scene.
Area Boys are Ulli Bartsch (aka uliba) and Obaro Evuarherhe (aka O'baro) the purveyors of international beats anywhere between Düsseldorf and Lagos.
Together they discovered their love for african rhythms ranging from Fela Kuti’s afrobeat to Ghanaian High Life, east African Soukous, to more modern “afrobeats”: Kuduro from Angola, Kwaito house from South Africa, and Azonto from West Africa. In between you will find South American sprinkles of Colombian Cumbia, Raggaeton and Jamaican Dancehall.
Area Boys have delivered global beat fiestas at The Canteen, the Attic, the Bell, and the Pipe and Slippers in Bristol and at Passing Clouds in London and the Cellar Bar in Oxford.
They've played plenty of festivals like Larmer Tree Festival (closing set), Secret Garden Party (Feast of Fools), Brisfest, Blissfields and many more.
Previous booked DJ sets were on the same bill with Chief Boima (NYC, USA), Bass Kitchen Bristol (Ed Solo headliner) and a Fela Kuti tribute DJ set with VJ performance at Brisfest World Music Stage.
DJ sets with live bands included: Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, AJ Holmes & The Hackney Empire (London), Ruby & The Vines (London), London Afrobeat Collective (London), Sheelanagig (Bristol), No Go Stop (Bristol), Baila La Cumbia (Bristol), etc...
