“A runaway hit at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this brand new, “funny and deliriously energetic” (Broadway Baby) quiz for families promises “an atmosphere of unending happiness” (Arts Award Voice).”

“Matthew Richards - Bristol-based sonic explorer. Dealing mainly in long-form forestial ambience and cavernous drones, created from personally collected found sound, manipulated acoustic instruments, sampling and the occasional bursts of harsh noise and fuzzy glitch. Hardware and software utilised and represented live. A journey in texture not to be missed.”

“Signature are one of the most popular barbershop and a cappella acts in the world, having recently returned from the Barbershop Harmony Society international competition in Las Vegas with a silver medal. Their powerful ballads and popular soul numbers make them one of the most talked about acts on the international scene right now.”

“Like a stone eroded by years in the arroyo, Gun Outfit’s enveloping “Western expanse” aesthetic of guitar levitations and honky-tonk hexes has become gradually smoother over time. Their fifth LP ranks as their most brutally beautiful statement yet. Drawing from mythologies both classical and postmodern, Out of Range builds a world in which Brueghel the Elder, St. Augustine, and the ancient goddess Cybele ride with John Ford, Samuel Beckett, and Wallace Stevens on a Orphic-Gnostic suicide drive towards the hallucinatory vanishing points of the Southwestern desert, debating the denouement of the decaying American dream.”
From: Gun Outfit

“Their most recent album for BBiB, 2017's Hasta La Victoria, sees the ever-fluctuating ensemble delving even deeper into the Terry Riley-meets-Amon Duul mantras hinted at on previous recordings, with tape loops, saxophones, woodwinds, and South Asian folk instruments taking equal billing to what might be described as your more typical rock-band instrumental lineup.”
