LIVE MUSIC FROM:

RHIANNON - The Fleetwood Mac Tribute

Veterans of many great shows, you can bet that this group really know their stuff when it comes to recreating the legendary supergroup's look and sound on stage. This is the ultimate homage to one of rock music's most appreciated groups so let us save you the trouble of searching too hard.

A highly polished and professional show, Rhiannon have now been recognised around Europe and further afield as the complete live musical tribute to the iconic originals. With this band playing truly authentic covers, you can be sure that your audience will leave happy if they have even a shred of appreciation for FMs original tunes and albums.

From the wonderful 'Rhiannon', 'Albatross', 'Man of the World' through the iconic 'Don't Stop' and 'Seven Wonders' you can guarantee all the favourites are in the performance. The band themselves are, of course, fans and immerse themselves in the faithful recreation of the original's discography.

This is music that simply demands passion, commitment and high intensity from a band and Rhiannon don't disappoint.

Wolfgang Flür, robot member of the seminal electronic group Kraftwerk from 1973 to 1987, invented and played much of the group's electric percussion used throughout the 1970s.

A member of Kraftwerk during the group's golden era, he was there from their international breakthrough with the album Autobahn (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto-techno on albums such as Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981).

Musik Soldat ('music soldier') sees this true pioneer performing music from his present projects, including new album MAGAZINE 1, and Kraftwerk past... all with a strong anti-war message.

Don't miss this unique show.

Oddisee (Washington DC, USA)

Born Amir Elkhalifa in Washington D.C. to a Sudanese father and African American mother, and raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Oddisee bore witness to stark inequity early in life and became as political as the city he was raised in. 


Elkhalifa tackles the human condition with unwavering conviction and candor, merging elements of jazz, funk, and go-go into his hip-hop rooted production. Instead of pursuing record deals and executives, Elkhalifa has taken the less-traveled path. Streamlining elements of the industry early on, from single-handedly recording, producing, and mixing his music to steering his marketing strategy and tour runs. 


A string of contemporary releases—Rock Creek Park (2011), The Beauty in All (2013), The Good Fight (2015), Alwasta (2016), and The Iceberg (2017)—headlining performances and tours with his 5-piece band, Good Compny, and streams in the hundred-millions have propelled him to international recognition and acclaim.


Long celebrated as a deep-thinking emcee that delivers a masterclass in lyricism over his own production often influenced with the Go-Go music of his DMV roots, Oddisee explores human ambition, posing the question: “how far are you willing to go, and why?” on his 2023 return full length album „To What End“.

 Oddisee’s work has been celebrated by NPR, TIME Magazine, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Washington Post, Complex, Hypebeast, KCRW, and many, many more across the globe. 


Pitchfork deemed 2017’s trenchant The Iceberg “a focused beam oflive-band and hip-hop soul that rattles loudly in our present political moment,” while Stereogum described 2020’s Odd Cure as “gorgeous” and with NPR booking Oddisee for TWO Tiny Desk performances.

Meduulla:

Raised in North Manchester in a Zimbabwean household, Meduulla’s music reflects her experience growing up with two contrasting cultures as a first generation immigrant to the UK. Inspired by iconic Zimbabwean musicians such as Oliver Mtukudzi, she doesn’t shy away from using her music as a vehicle to encourage critical political discourse. Having spoken both English and Shona as a child, then later learning French, the rapper has always been curious about the way that words can connect different worlds, a quality that is also expressed in Hip-Hop, which is why it’s no surprise that the artist gravitated towards the genre. Having been deeply moved by artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and Noname, she was inspired to start creating her own projects. Since 13, she has been writing poetry and first gained popularity as a Spoken Word artist. Eventually, she began to play around with writing to classic compositions and when her witty wordplay and story telling received recognition from the likes of Grime pioneer Chip, and melodic rapper Not3s, she continued to explore her unique sound and release more freestyles on social media. After her appearance on BBC’s The Rap Game in 2021, she released her debut EP Oblongata in 2023 and is eager to continue adding to her discography and expanding her artistry. With a promising journey thus far, she is tipped for big things in 2024 and beyond.

HOMEBOY SANDMAN (Brooklyn NYC):

Renowned lyricist Homeboy Sandman delivers a rich tapestry of beats and rhymes that transcend the boundaries of conventional Hip-Hop.

Pitchfork commended the emcee saying, “When it comes to underground rap veterans who have remained both prolific and reliable, Homeboy Sandman doesn’t have much in the way of competition.”

BABA ALI:

Recognised as one of the most electrifying new acts to emerge from the UK in recent years, Baba Ali is the combined force of American performer and musician Baba Doherty and British guitarist Nik Balchin.


Following the release of their debut Memory Device in 2021 and 18 months of touring, Baba Ali return with one foot firmly placed on the dance floor, and the other in a state of frenzy. The bold and fiery lead single Burn Me Out from their sophomore album Laugh Like A Bomb, serves as a blueprint for what the duo call their ‘electro punk disco’ sound and was premiered by Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music.


Having previously collaborated with Al Doyle (LCD Soundsystem / Hot Chip) on their debut album, this time the duo absconded to Doyle’s studio in his own touring absence and took to production duties themselves. Laugh Like A Bomb was recorded in just three weeks before being mixed by Sheffield producer Ross Orton (Working Men's Club / M.I.A. / Yard Act).

Onstage, Baba Ali is a captivating and seductive presence, transmitting a wall of sound that fills the room with an infectious raw energy and groove that makes standing still impossible.


YAANG:

Forming in 2017 when Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at the University of Salford - and later completed by Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass duties - the trio have steadily built their reputation for furious, high-energy, live shows, powered by the rocket-fuel combo of pulsating drum loops, clangorous guitars and a wicked sense of humour.

Jean Genie's Massive Hugs:

"The magically spirit affecting, songs of Jean Genie" (Monthly Planet)

Jean Genie brought us the incredible song "Ray of Hope (Ferret Forever)" to support our Save The Ferret fundraising - "What a song!" (John Kennedy, Radio X). A Ferret legend in the house for one night only.

---

Plus, some very special guests & super secret surprises throughout the night.

AND a mega after party with our boy Telstar at the controls.

////\\\//\/\///\\\//\/\/\\\/\/\/\\\////\\\\//\/\////\\/\//////\\\\

SCALER

Formerly known as Scalping, Bristol's Scaler have quickly become known for blistering live performances and astute production, formed through a love of their hometown’s visionary off-the-wall dance music as well as full throttle noise and punk. Each show incorporates dark, hypnotic projected visuals, and bridges the gap between live guitar music and live electronic music. 

Armed with a battery of squelching synths, animalistic rhythms and gritty, piercing guitars, the band have gained a reputation for their frenzied closing slots at festivals, delivering the most visceral audio-visual experience. 

“LOAM”, the band’s collaboration with Daniel Avery sees the band lean further into their club and dance-based influences, combining adrenaline fuelled rhythms with euphoric synths that ebb and flow around their heavier sensibilities.

////\\\//\/\///\\\//\/\/\\\/\/\/\\\////\\\\//\/\////\\/\//////\\\\

PVA

South London band PVA’s stunning debut BLUSH consolidates the beating pulse of electronic music with the raw energy of a life-affirming gig and reveals more about the trio than they’ve ever shared before.

The 11 blistering tracks from the group, Ella Harris and Josh Baxter (who share vocals as well as handling synths, guitars & production) alongside drummer Louis Satchell, are made from a formula of acid, disco, synths, the release of the dancefloor & queer-coded post-punk.

Their early gigs established PVA as key players in South London’s fervent indie scene alongside Squid, black midi & Black Country, New Road. Leading to slots at SXSW, Pitchfork Festival & Green Man plus tours with Shame, Dry Cleaning & Goat Girl. Even in their earliest iterations their existence beyond the confines of a traditional band set-up were clear. It wasn’t unusual to be able to catch them twice in one night, at Brixton's Windmill and again in the early hours DJing at Deptford’s Bunker.

They released debut single ‘Divine Intervention’ through Speedy Wunderground in 2019 with debut EP ‘Toner’ a year later via Ninja Tune. The EP featured a remix of ‘Talks’ by Mura Masa that picked up a GRAMMY nomination.

On their debut album PVA carry that same energy from the live circuit, while also building out a holistic world full of texture and heart. BLUSH is rich with industrial beats that pack a heavyweight punch, jagged punk spirit and moments of hushed contemplation from Harris’ poetic lyrics.

Live electronic & synth-wave sounds from BECKETT, Durham Modun aka Synthtexture + Cynthia's Periscope. With DJ sets from Barium Network, Demetae + T.F.Wizard. Expect synthwave, tribal house, underground techno, dark industrial, solid grooves and mind-melting dancefloor destroyers.

«BECKETT»
Synthwave & Talkbox with a backdrop of 80s Beats. The music of Beckett is inspired by the movie soundtracks and lifestyles of the 1980s. An electronic palette of synthesizers, drum machines and studio electric guitars infused with Miami sunsets, LA Neon and the glamour of 80s fashion.

“Beckett is the synthwave king!” - Cody Carpenter

«BARIUM NETWORK»
Drawing on influences that take in shoegaze, post punk, industrial and EBM, Barium Network takes an atmospheric dive into the darker side of electronic music that brings the producer’s tastes together in unexpected and unique ways.

«CYNTHIA'S PERISCOPE»
Manchester based experimental electro pop artist, making confessional weirdo pop varying from melodic and tender to brutal and cathartic.

«DEMETAE»
From the humble city of Preston, Demetae caught the wave of one of Manchesters biggest promoters and jumped on the Love Dose Records party train. This allowed Rob to vent his passion for music on the turntables in now iconic clubs such as Sankeys, Hidden & The White Hotel. ​Inspired by the echoes of rave in his lugs, Demetae launched his own imprint «Powerful Recordings» with several releases from the likes of Kashpitzky, Barium Network & Sted Mørk.

«DURHAM MODUN aka SYNTHTEXTURE»
The D-Man creates banging acid lines and relentless live techno. Expect non-stop beats and intensity from this master of machines.

«T.F.WIZARD»
Expect an eclectic/eccentric maelstrom of mangled guitars and odd-ball dance music from the linchpin of legendary Preston clubnight «Beats of Rage».
