Summer line up:
BYOB aka Bring Your Own Brass (headline) Hip Hop // Space Brass // Afro-Latin
BYOB are an 11-piece brass band who have been tearing up festival stages with their original mix of hip hop beats, heavy riffs and dancefloor grooves. Forged in the fires of Passing Clouds, BYOB regularly packed out the legendary venue well into the early hours. Since then BYOB have been whipping up a storm at festivals and venues across the UK and Ireland.
In 2017 they headlined the opening night on the main stage at Glastonbury’s Shangri-la; they have packed out stages at Boomtown, Shambala, Lovebox, Citadel, Hootananny and the Scala. With their first EP about to drop, this is a live band you can’t afford to miss.
Jelly Cleaver Jazz // DIY Punk
Jelly Cleaver is a guitarist, producer and singer-songwriter based in South London. With an eclectic taste in music, Jelly is heavily involved in both the jazz and DIY/punk scenes in London. She's also an activist, and a strain of political dissent runs through her music. Her latest single 'VI II V' has been premiered on Moses Boyd's show on BBC 1xtra, as well as being played on Jazz FM and Worldwide FM.
Through Tomorrow’s Warriors, an organisation whose alumni include Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective and Nubya Garcia, she met the other musicians in her band, many of whom are talented composers and bands.
HTD aka Having Technical Difficulties Hip Hop // Drum & Bass // Jungle
HTD are the latest artists breaching genre barriers to amalgamate a plethora of influences, mixing acoustic and electronic elements and creating a distinctive London sound. Lyrically fuelled, bass driven & styled with a potent message from start to finish, HTD have a signature London sound that has all the markings of LTJ Bukems long-lost love child. DNA will be verified on the night. Terms and conditions apply.
Vedina Rose & The Pirates Trip Hop // Alt Soul // Punk // Jazz // Afro-Folk
Vedina Rose, aka “Pirate Rose Kunsongi”, is an African born, London-based performer, writer & revolutionary. With her band of strays 'The Pirates', she is on a mad mission to 'edu-tain', inspire and help people break out of the box and into their true selves. Though she defies categorisation, many have labelled her sounds an enchanting blend of Trip Hop, Alt. Soul, Punk, Jazz and Afro-folk. She just calls it music.
