Xav Clarke + Jusjim + Milly Upton at The Gallimaufry
See event details

A gig held at The Gallimaufry on Tuesday 3rd June. The event starts at 21:00.


This is Xav Clarke's first gig in his new hometown of Bristol. Joined by an old friend (Milly) and a new friend (Jim) as he stands in the transition of two worlds - playing a show that brings his past into harmony with his future here - we're all looking forward to hearing them jamming it out to you in the present as we set sail on a new journey together...

Xav Clarke is an artist blurring the lines between homespun philosophical lyric writing and wonked-out cinematic soundscapes informed by his composition work for animation and film. His songs are about the personal amidst the enormous, life between extinctions, set to a psychedelic folk soundtrack where everything that bleeps and bloops is covered in moss and someone's dug out some enthusiasm for life from between the rocks. Fresh from the release of his highly anticipated album 'Fossil Forest' -produced by Mercury Prize winner Mike Lindsay (Tunng / LUMP) - Xav takes his kaleidoscopic psychedelic indie pop to the stage.

Jusjim is well known to the Galli stage as drummer of the pioneering Waldo's Gift crew. Mixing melodic jazz phrases with angular electronic rhythms and the raw energy of punk and metal, James' rhythmic approach is truly unique. Hear his ever-evolving, mind-blowing solo project and find out if a fox ate his shoes last night. We love this man!

Raised in Brighton surrounded by the music of Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell and Joan Armatrading, Milly Upton got her start in music young. With a voice that evokes memories of the Greenwich Village scene in 1970, Milly carries listeners away with her gently swaying indie pop songs.

An incredible free entry line-up, the start of something truly beautiful. Welcome, Xav.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
