“Growing up in Kilburn, siblings Madani, Maryam and school mate Alex hit it off from the moment they meet. 10 years later, playful chats about ninja turtles and bobble pens have been kicked out by teen opinions powered by podcasts, porn and politics. Still, best friends can talk about anything. So why are there suddenly so many unspoken thoughts between the three?”

“While not necessarily a household name, Brian Jackson is revered among musicians and DJs. Instrumental in the development of contemporary jazz, jazz-funk, and neo-soul, the multi-instrumentalist is an inspiration for generations of hip-hop and EDM producers. His soulful sounds have been featured by legends such as Kendrick Lamar (Poe Man's Dreams) and Common (The People).”

“British Jazz guitar legend John Etheridge digs deep into the bluesy side of his repertoire alongside organ maestro Pete Whittaker and brilliant drummer George Double. This superb Guitar/Organ Trio really grooves and taps into the bluesier, intense side of John's playing. There are plenty of typical swing elements, augmented by soulful ballads and fiery funk outings. Blue Spirits last played Fringe Jazz in 2019 and that gig is remembered as one of our best ever nights - don't miss this gig.”

“Fusing loud combinations of grunge and alt-rock, Black Flies have cut their teeth making their mark on the grassroots music scene in Bristol and beyond. Inspired by the music of legacy bands like Deftones & Arcane Roots, Black Flies return for their first headline show in over 2 years. Simply not one to be missed.”
