Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! On-U Sound’s AHC return to Bristol for a full-throttle blowout at Trinity, delivering thunderous dub rhythms, bonkers polyrhythmic percussion and soaring melodic chants - all riddled with post-punk attitude and dizzying psychedelic catharsis."

TRINITY CENTRE // BRISTOL

AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE
Experimental/tribal percussion act with a heavy dub and 'world' music slant led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah.
Has had various members since forming in 1981 but Bonjo I has been a constant feature. Most of the actual music in the early days was written by Adrian Sherwood and the band was basically a vehicle for his more experimental side for the then fledgling On-U Sound label.
However, as the band developed throughout the 80's, Bonjo's role became more prominent. By the time of the 5th album, the classic 'Songs Of Praise', he was vocalist as well as main multi-percussion instrumentalist. He also became the primary songwriter. Despite this other writers also became involved, most notably Skip McDonald of Tackhead.
GAUDI
A global favorite in the dub/electronica/world music scenes, producer and solo artist GAUDI keeps his ever-growing fan base with his infectious bass-driven tunes and innovative production techniques.
There’s no easy way to encapsulate GAUDI’s vast body of work, for the past three decades he has been shattering genre barriers, pioneering world-music, electronic-dub and reggae music, amassing a stunning collection of originals, albums, collaborations and remixes with artists such as: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Bob Marley, Simple Minds, Lamb, Trilok Gurtu, Shpongle, Apache Indian, Soom T, Michael Rose, Deep Forest, Beats Antique, Sizzla, Michael Stipe & Asha Bhosle, Michael Franti, Dub Pistols, Grandmaster Flash, & Krs One, The Beat, Barrington Levy, Horace Andy, The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry, Afrika Bambaataa to mention a few.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
