“I view MUSIC as a major WEAPON in the BATTLEFIELD for PEACE of MIND in the world” – K.O.G
Kweku Sackey aka K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana) is a multi-dimensional creative force, combining exquisite writing skills with shamanistic live performance, fierce raps, perfectly on pitch singing across a massive vocal range and some absolutely wicked dance moves. Not to mention his skills as a percussionist, arranger, bandleader and art director. A true poet and storyteller, he uses a mix of English, Pidgin and Ga to paint sonic pictures that reach deep into the souls of everyone ready to listen.
“I love to make music that CONNECTS, REVIVES, EDUCATES and ENTERTAINS, drawing on the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental well being of us as individuals and our quest to maintain balance with the universe.”
Born in Accra, Ghana, to a nurse mother and marine engineer father who had studied in England, he grew up with a diverse range of international influences alongside Ghanaian styles: Tom Waits, Quincy Jones, Bob Marley, Sizzla, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ebo Taylor, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Atongo Simba, George Clinton, Pavarotti, Warsaw Village Band.
Resident for over 10 years in Sheffield, UK, music has taken him to perform on huge stages all over the world, from Glastonbury’s legendary West Holts stage to Fusion (Germany), Sauti Za Busara (Zanzibar), Kabardock (Reunion) and the Commonwealth Games (Gold Cost, Australia), winning the 2018 Young Commonwealth Performer and performing for Nelson Mandela’s family.
A prolific writer and collaborator, he needs a range of projects to showcase the different sides of his unique talent. He is the lead vocalist for afro-futurist project Onipa (Strut Records, Wormfood) and hi-life/hiphop/funk band K.O.G (Heavenly Sweetness), as well as collaborating extensively with Nubiyan Twist; his song ‘If I know’ off the Freedom Fables album (Strut) was performed live on Later with Jools Holland and A-playlisted on BBC6 Music.
Kweku is deeply aware of his heritage and of his role as an ambassador both through space and time, negotiating culturally both between African and Western influences and between the traditional and the modern: always open to new innovations and ideas while firmly rooted in a deep lineage.
This openness has informed recent collaborations with a wide wide range of producers and writers, including Léon Phal, Jembaa Groove, Zed Bias, iZem, Afriquoi, Congo Natty, Scrimshire, Dark Sky, Dizraeli, Chiminyo, Umoja and many more in the pipeline. Third album on French label Heavenly Sweetness, produced by master French producer Guts (Alliance Ethnik) and longtime friend and collaborator Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist, Onipa), will drop September 2024.

BELOW GROUND with CHRIS LIBERATOR & MORE!
We are pleased to announce we have Chris Liberator along with some of the finest North West DJs bringing you a night of pure techno!
If you haven't already heard of acid techno pioneer Chris Liberator, Chris started DJing back in 1991 playing his first ever party in a squat in North London (organised with the fledgling Liberator crew featuring himself, Julian and Aaron).
Liberator soon made a name for themselves putting on parties in and around North East London in squats and underground venues, and it wasn’t long before they began hooking up with other crews doing similar stuff including Bedlam, Full On, Zero Gravity and Megadog who they all played regularly for with their firebrand mix of Acid, hard Techno and Rave.
Getting involved with the illegal raves kicking off in the UK at the time (including Lechlade and Castle Morton) via their numerous traveller connections saw them hook up with crews out in Europe from Prague and Holland and they began travelling internationally as well. In 1993 they began their label Stay Up Forever to represent their own unique style, and as it progressed and they met more producers like DDR, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Gizelle, Geezer and Lawrie Immersion, the sound of London Techno and Acid Techno as we know it was born.

Red Snapper:
Notorious for casting convention aside, and remaining one of the UK’s most forward-thinking and rule breaking live bands, Red Snapper embrace a unique blend of live, euphoric instrumental Afro-Jazz, Future Funk, Dub, Dark Hip-Hop, and fragile soundscapes.
Red Snapper are proud to announce 13 UK live dates in March 2025, celebrating new releases on Lo Recordings and also 30 years of ‘Reeled and Skinned’, their first album on the legendary Warp Records.
This is an increasingly rare opportunity to catch the legendary musical force in these intimate gig venues. Could be one for the history books…!
Live line up:
Ali Friend – Bass, Vocals, Gato Drum.
Rich Thair – Drums.
Tara Cunningham – Guitar and vocals.
Tom Challenger – Saxophone, Clarinet and Keyboards.
“The only unsurprising thing about Red Snappers creative journey is their unswerving commitment to progression and innovation”.
In November 2024 Red Snapper release the ‘Tight Chest’ EP featuring LA producer David Harrow via Lo Recordings.
A follow up EP featuring the current live line up will be released in 2025 which, combined with the tracks from 'Tight Chest', will form the full vinyl album ‘Barb and Feather’.
Warp records will also be concurrently releasing a unique limited vinyl version of ‘Reeled and Skinned’, the band's acclaimed first outing for the label from back in 1995.
Following the success of their album ‘Everybody Is Somebody’ in 2022, Red Snapper released ‘Live at The Moth Club' (2023), which was a celebration of the band’s famed, worldwide live performances, spanning 3 decades, and recorded at a sell-out show at the end of their 2022 live tour.
The album demonstrates the band’s ability to constantly rework and update new and classic tracks, keeping them impassioned, experimental and as relevant as ever.
With another busy year on the horizon, Red Snapper will be taking their explosive and passionate live set on the road once again in 2025.

This DJ show brings you The Fab Four like you've never heard before!

Expect to hear plenty of Reggae, Ska, Latin, Hip Hop, Dub, Funk, House and even Drum & Bass takes on the wonderful music created by John, Paul, George & Ringo.
The Beatles Dub Club has pulled capacity crowds at some of the UK's biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Boomtown, Isle of Wight Festival, Latitude, Camp Bestival, Shambala, Green Man, Bluedot and more. There was also a personal invitation by none other than Fatboy Slim to appear at his 'All Back To Minehead' Weekender at Butlins.
This year has seen the show making huge waves internationally, including dates in France, Australia, New Zealand, Bali and Latvia, as well as a huge summer tour of over 50 festivals and venues.
Far Out Magazine listed the show as one of the Top 20 Alternative Acts to watch at Glastonbury alongside such heavyweights as Hot Chip, Mike Skinner and Leftfield.

The Zawose Queens are Leah and Pendo Zawose of the Tanzanian Wagogo people, whose joyous otherworldly vocals and polyphonic rhythms deftly blend the acoustic, electronic, traditional and modern.
There is spirit and fire in the music of The Zawose Queens. There’s the vibrations of the ancestors, coming through on traditional instruments — soaring chizeze fiddle, buzzing illimba thumb piano, ngoma drums that chatter and thunder — and voices that go deep, high and out there. There’s the connection to nature, to ceremony and ritual, in their dance-inspired fusion, their blend of the organic, harmonic and modern-day electronic. There are lyrics that tell, in their native kigogo, of the passion for music, the wonders of life. Of pride in environment, in tradition. In their East African roots.
Pendo and Leah Zawose showcase the fluid polyrhythms and rapturous polyphonic singing of the Gogo (aka Wagogo) people of the arid, hilly Dodoma region of central Tanzania. The most famous exponent of this musical tradition is the late, great Dr Hukwe Zawose (Pendo’s father and Leah’s grandfather).
Maisha, the debut album by The Zawose Queens (on Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records), marks the first time that women from this famous musical family take their place as lead vocalists and performers. Emboldened by workshops in songwriting and music production with visiting UK-based producers Oli Barton-Wood (Jordan Rakei, Obongjayar, Nilufer Yanya) and Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist, Onipa), The Zawose Queens began writing their first ever songs. The resulting collection of songs range from the stripped back and traditional-sounding to those treated with subtle electronic elements, with beats and drops and found sounds and switch-ups.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\with guest DJs from Jazzin The Park Productions bringing the heat, with a satisfying stew of Afrobeat, House, Jazz, Soul, Latin, Boogie, Disco, Jazz-Funk, African, Broken Beat, Electronica & more.

“I’m VIB3ST, an artiste from Lagos, Nigeria with a strong passion for afrobeats & rap. I'm not limited to any genre because i love every sound of music.”

======================
ELOHYMN
https://www.facebook.com/100064652186861
Elohymn (from Chorley) are back with a bang after a long hiatus. They have reformed their original lineup and will be performing the first EP they ever released in full on the night. Underneath the technical riffs and beats are robot noises and subliminal sonic subtexts. Charging this attack are subtle but essential effects, that shift the pitch and cause sequenced delays, all of which enhances an already spectacularly grand sound. The flipside sound reveals a blossoming anthemic and ethereal 21st Century post rock outlook, that’s captured in the cascading themes, loops and eloquent guitar lines. Elohymn don't have to rely on big chords. Instead they can snap out quick multibeat passages, punctuated with millisecond pauses which lead into the next ascending or descent led theme. The trio create something of a conceptual set, with the backing tracks and consistent, connecting strands. The numbers of course become gigantic by the end, elevating the audience on something of a sonic mountain climb - with such altitude, comes the very best of views.
CAT CALLED DOG
https://www.facebook.com/CatCalledDog
Cat Called Dog (from Skelmersdale) are another act who've been away from the live scene for a number of years. But they are coming out to play this Xmas! There is a distinct fuzzy reality of stepping into Cat Called Dogs world; it's a soothing reassurance of natural blood-pumping, lug-hole piercing, raw-rock that grabs you by the curlies and demands attention.
THE CITIES
https://www.facebook.com/thecities
The Cities (from Preston) are a sonic rebellion clad in skinny jeans, echoing the untamed spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. With every strum, drum, and bass thump, they channel the raw energy of the legendary Joe Kanger. The Cities are not just a band; they’re a thunderous force, where the drums and bass form the unyielding backbone, driving the rhythm into the heart of the listener.
FIRSTNAMEFRANK
https://www.facebook.com/FirstnameFrank
A man, a piano & some great songs: that is FirstnameFrank!! The best opener in the business.
We will also have DJ HUDSON playing tunes and probably crafting some baboonery tomfoolery throughout the night.

Catch Asher Roth on his European tour, showcasing a captivating live performance featuring trumpet and drums. With chart-toppers such as the gold record “Asleep on the Bread Aisle” and platinum single “I Love College” under his belt, Asher Roth is delivering a one-of-a-kind live hip hop experience that you won't want to miss.
Asher Roth is touring to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of his first album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" which moved 600,000 units and went gold, while his hit single "I Love College" went platinum with 1.3 million units sold and 300 Million streams!
Asher Roth uses music to capture moments.
Over a decade ago, Asher demonstrated a passion for far-reaching references and advanced flows. The Morrisville, PA, WCU-lovin’ Roth relocated to Atlanta, where he partnered with DJ Drama and Don Cannon for 2008's The Greenhouse Effect mixtape.
Roth signed to Steve Rifkind (Loud Records) & Scooter Braun (SB Projects), released a double-platinum single “I Love College” and a gold debut in 2009’s - Asleep in the Bread Aisle. By 2010's Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry offering it was clear Roth was moving in his own direction. By cultivating a core fanbase through free albums like “Pabst & Jazz” and projects with Nottz & Travis Barker, Asher has been able to create a community driven career.
His belief in sustainability spawned an open air venue in his home city of Philadelphia, Sunflower Philly, to provide an outlet for artists during the pandemic while simultaneously being the inspiration for his independent releases ‘Retrohash’ and ‘Flowers On The Weekend.’ The former has become the name for his artist development company that recently played a role in expanding ‘The Greenhouse Effect’ series - while leading to collaborative albums “Why’s It So Grey Out?” and “Temporary Heaven” with Heather Grey.
Asher continues to expand on his discography while building a reputation as one of hip hop’s finest live performers.

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.
