“A fulsome evocation of Fela Kuti’s continually inspiring blend of The J.B.’s-style jazz-funk horns lashed to a relentless mix of funky highlife and Yoruba, all delivered with aplomb….” – Time Out London
London Afrobeat Collective are a tight-knit family of musicians from around the world, living in London and united by a love of afrobeat and a desire to take original music to new places.
This 8-strong collective from England, Italy, France, Congo, Argentina and New Zealand combine traditional afrobeat and hi-life with funk, jazz, Latin and dub to deliver party music born of their truly global DNA.
A regular hit on the UK and Europe touring circuit and celebrated for their raucous energy, heavy dance grooves and conscious lyrics, the band has rocked major stages from Glastonbury Festival (UK) to the Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria, via Imagina Funk (Spain), Fusion Festival (Germany), Cully Jazz (Switzerland), Tempo Latino (France), Earth Garden (Malta) and many more.
Taking inspiration from afrobeat father Fela Kuti as well as such artists as Ebo Taylor, Parliament Funkadelic and Havana d’Primera, LAC’s original music and multi-lingual performances in English, Spanish, Lingala and French have won them admirers across Europe.
Their fourth studio album Esengo (Canopy Records – release date 14 February 2024), which means Joy in Lingala includes the new single Topesa Esengo Na Motema (Let Us Give Joy To The Heart) with a remix by Bosq.
“Juanita Euka’s sinuously smooth vocals lead the way and the funk & soul horns synchronise perfectly with the flawless rhythm section and blissful guitars” – Simon Cross, Songlines Magazine, March 24
“In a genre short of female stars, vocalist Juanita Euka is a real find” – Mojo Magazine March 24
“…not only pays homage to the spirit of Fela Kuti but also embraces a bold approach to crafting original music that transcends traditional genre boundaries” – Jazziz.com March 24
“It has an energy and joie de vivre that would make even the greatest curmudgeon want to break into a smile and skip” Andrew Neal, Silentradio.com , Feb 24

Established in 2019, Whingefest was a daft idea born in The Ferret beer garden late one night. And here it is: The 10th one!
Featuring another amazing lineup:
JEANIE & THE WHITE BOYS:
Jeanie and The White Boys is an unapologetically bold and irreverent music project born from the underground queer art scene and fuelled by raw energy, biting satire, and a deep love for rock and roll. Fronted by Jeanie, a charismatic and rebellious creative force, the band blends punk ethos with theatrical performance, creating a sound that’s as subversive as it is addictive.
Jeanie, a filmmaker and performance artist turned musician, brings her knack for storytelling and visual artistry to the band’s identity. Collaborating with seasoned musicians Dom (Toy) and Bleu (Warmduscher), Jeanie and The White Boys deliver high-energy anthems that tackle themes of societal absurdities, personal pain, and the messy beauty of life.
With their incendiary debut single making waves and an upcoming release, Queen Bee, on the horizon, the band is rapidly gaining a reputation for their electrifying live performances and razor-sharp commentary. Jeanie and The White Boys are not just a band—they’re a movement, rallying against apathy and inspiring a new wave of creative rebellion.
SLY & THE FAMILY DRONE:
Working with a sound palette of scronked electronics, bulging noise blasts, wailing sax & Kalashnikov drums, the band digs deeper than ever to find increasingly potent sonic pockets.
Like many classic noise bands before them, Sly & The Family Drone choose to play on the floor of their venues whenever they can. There’s a different "atmosphere, environment and dynamic" when they’re up close to people and surrounded by amplifiers.
HAWK OWL:
Neurotic Northern millennials staring the reaper in the face. A fuzzy blend of psych, dream pop and space rock, featuring former members of Tero Kulero.
SHINDIG:
These North East DIY punks played at Whinge’s album launch at The Rat & Pigeon, Manchester & we’ve been looking for an excuse to bring them to Preston since they blew the bloody doors off.
BOI TOI:
Synth and punk-driven 5 piece, playing songs about Guinness and love and the Northern Rail prices.
8-B1Tch:
Chiptune maestro 8-B1Tch bends circuits and minds, as his tiny machines take us on a cosmic voyage. Also featuring the glorious Golden B’stard on the drums (TBC).
WHINGE:
Aaaaaand, don't forget your cordial hosts & “expert curators”: Whinge.
A meeting of four jaded old friends from the underbelly of the north-west music scene, Whinge began as a cathartic outlet and an attempt to press pause on the unrelenting passage of time.
Fuelled by nihilism and a playful eye for self-deprecation, one pub conversation too many saw their myriad of musical backgrounds meet their unpredictable approach to life, with the end result: ‘Whinge'. Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.
Post-punk & Psych informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge slam together influences from the Mondays to the Sabbath, ESG to LCD, Genesis to the Rapture.
Over to Crackedankles Records:
"We knew the members of Whinge by sight from our local venue The Ferret where, it would seem, at least one of Whinge was in at any given time. Their debut gig was a kaleidoscope of conflict and charm that was intimidating and hilarious in equal measures. But underneath the chaos were really memorable, witty and well crafted songs portraying a unique palette of influences and the best front person we'd seen in years."
//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\

The finale of Preston Jazz & Improvisation Festival, “Jazzin’ the Park 2025”, is set to be a roadblock with an amazing line up. After a day in the park, we needed to deliver something special for those with the stamina to party, and oh how we have delivered!

From 7pm, DJ's Bolts and Chris Holt will be dropping weight in the Ferret Beer garden on Jazzin' the Park's soundsystem.

Chiminyo + La French + Temporary Bodies + Tabes + Jazzin The Park DJs - FREE ENTRY! (Preston Jazz Festival)
CHIMINYO
+ La French
+ Temporary Bodies
+ Tabes
+ Jazzin The Park DJs + guests
(as part of Preston Jazz & Improvisation Festival)
Fri 6th June. Free entry.
The Ferret, Preston.
WHAT IS CHIMINYO?
Chiminyo plays all his music live on his drums...
Chiminyo built his own software...
Chiminyo does not play to a backing track...
Chiminyo is not jazz...
Chiminyo's laptop only plays a sound when he hits a drum or pad...
Chiminyo is not a vegan...
Chiminyo's drums control his laptop through triggers...
Chiminyo drinks too much coffee...
Chiminyo made this video to help you understand...
https://youtu.be/-HG_eTnQkB4?si=znqLVxqZYNbY5DFp
Chiminyo is a drummer and producer based in North London who combines the raw, immediate live sound of percussion and the futuristic timbres of his electronic productions to create his own, daring soundworld. Via laboriously self-coded software, each cymbal crash and drum hit triggers a synth or sample, allowing Chiminyo complete control and freeing him of all loops, click-tracks and backing tracks.
As well as his own solo project, Chiminyo performs and records with some of the leading figures of the UK’s music scene, including one of The Ferret’s faves K.O.G, spiritual jazz-leaning outfit Maisha and psychedelic energy bomb Cykada. He has also collaborated and recorded with Gary Bartz, Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Theon Cross, and Zara McFarlane.
The up-and-coming musician’s debut EP entitled ‘I Am Chiminyo’ was a visceral introduction to his all-encompassing universe. Described by Clash magazine as “a startingly inventive percussive workout”, the EP flows through a cascade of ethereal arpeggios, thumping basslines, and heavy, dance-inducing beats. Critically-acclaimed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, BBC 1Xtra and Jazz FM, it indirectly earned Chiminyo the Jazz FM Digital Award whilst the track ‘Kandy Lanx’ was nominated for a Worldwide FM Award.

Nubya Garcia - Bira (live):https://youtu.be/mvDw6697UTk?si=mMifUDhS6CL4kRBX- - -
LA FRENCH:
La French is a multi instrumentalist/producer based in Lancashire. Combining his love of hip hop, jazz and electronica he fuses these genres with an ambient warmth.
TEMPORARY BODIES:
Temporary Bodies is the new project from Preston-based artist Mike Warburton (Barium Network / Utopian Mechanics). Based entirely around live, improvised performance - on-the-spot loops are fed through an array of fx pedals to create layers of sonorous strings and pads, swirling ambient textures and melodies that range from the Baroque to the bleak.
Inspired by the characteristics of artists like Grouper, MJ Guider, Silent Servant and Deaf Center amongst many more, Temporary Bodies also uses hypnotic drum loops, orchestral motifs and sparse vocals to build a dense, cathartic experience that guides the listener through themes of loss and longing into a place of quiet optimism.
TABES:
Melodic polyrhythms, anarchic dancing, lyrics about stuff.

Humb is a veteran of the UK's jungle and soundsystem scene, with countless events and various releases and under his belt as co-owner of the Jigsore soundsystem. Some of his classics from the label still gather somewhat of a cult following over 10 years after their release receiving regular plays at raves in the UK and beyond.
As long term resident of Hanoi Humb ran parties in the city for many years hosting a wide range of underground artists whilst building and running the legendary Birdcage nightclub, a 2 roomed semi outdoor venue sandwiched next to the red riveron the outskirts of the city. The development of the Vietnamese scene influenced his production style, pushing him to attack new styles whilst looking backwards to the roots of rave music.
The result was his most recent label, Doner Beat Records. Soon to drop their 14th release the label bridges the gap between jungle, acid, breaks and hardcore. Their music has found way into performances from the likes of FFF, Om Unit, Sherelle and Moy as well as Yosh's 2022 Boiler room and even resulted in a surprise collab with UKG legend Zed Bias, Whilst exploring new sounds Humb kept his love for faster tempos alive dropping a few jungle releases on vinyl in 2023/24.
Now returned to the UK with a few huge festival sets under his belt Humb is looking to the future with more forward amen rinsers dropping soon on Scared Money, Over/Shadow, Hardcore Energy and
beyond.
We are super gassed to have Humb on board & can't wait to hear him rinse out heavy business on the soundsystem!

Mikey D.O.N:
A real legend in the music scene, Mikey started his career at a very early age – after getting his first turntable in 1975. Late 1986 saw Mikey, along with his older brother and close family friend, start a rap group called KRISPY 3. The group’s first-ever appearance was on Steve Barker’s legendary ‘On The Wire’ radio show on Radio Lancashire on Sunday January 10th 1987. Krispy 3 were one of the first Hip Hop acts out of the UK to do BBC Radio 1 Sessions for John Peel, and also Steve Lamacq & Jo Whiley. Krispy 3 also made history by being one of the first UK hip hop acts to get heavy rotation on’ Yo! MTV Raps’ – resulting in Mikey now being humbly known as a UK Hip Hop Pioneer.
The honour and respect Mikey’s gained over the decades has lead him to DJing and performing at countless shows ranging from the likes Lee Scratch Perry, Bunny Wailer, David Rodigan, Maxi Priest, Marcia Griffiths, Gregory Isaacs, etc, to Hip Hop acts Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Biz Markie, Slum Village, Ali Shaheed Mohammed (ATCQ), Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Roots Manuva, Gangstarr, Ultra Magnetic MC’s, etc, funk groups like Roy Ayers, Breakestra, Brand New Heavies, to D&B/Junglist legends Nicky Blackmarket, Aries, DJ Hype, etc, and playing many club nights and venues such as Fabric, Eat Your Greens, Hit & Run, D*Percussion & Club Asylum (Jamaica) to name but a few. The same goes for Festivals such as BoomTown, SolFest, BeatHerder, Latitude, Boom Bap, Kendal Calling, etc – the list goes on and on.
with guest MCs from across the North West: Lomax + Seek The Northerner, Peggy, JustSean R.A.

KNOCKENGORROCH
Scotland’s longest running greenfield festival | Est. 1998
https://www.knockengorroch.org.uk
Knockengorroch Festival was born from a love of the land, excellent roots music and celebrating the good times. They present unparalleled music, arts and workshops in a beautiful mountain riverside meadow, located deep in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
In times long past the native hills and streams of Scotland shaped its music. Stream becomes river, rural track becomes urban street, the musical landscape of today’s global village is diverse, both urban and rurally inspired. But all music speaks a universal language.
Knockengorroch promotes multi-cultural forms and musical genres, highlighting the connection between roots music and the lands and people that created it. Music from all continents is presented alongside the best in Scottish talent to showcase music in both traditional and contemporary fields.
~~~~~~~~
Here at THE FERRET, we’re happy to collaborate with this excellent family-run festival to present a Preston party inspired by the sounds of Knockengorroch. Samson Sounds & Morphamish travel down from Scotland to give us a taste of the late-night atmosphere you can find in Knockengorroch’s fields. They’re joined by local talents Tyramyx, Luke Out & Temporary Bodies, as we bring you a night of hearty rhythm, hefty bass & positive dancefloor vibrations.
~~~~~~~~
MORPHAMISH
(Labrat Audio // RIOT Radio Records)
https://www.knockengorroch.org.uk/artist/morphamish-2/
Morphamish creates fresh, anything-goes dance music for the weird and wonderful. Morphamish promises a high-energy fusion of bass-heavy techno, wobbling subs, acid-tinged grooves, breakbeats, afro percussion, and pounding kicks—layered with funk, multiple tempos, and deep bass music influences.
Expect a journey through sweet melodies and heavy, psychoactive sounds, blending drum and bass, techno, and beyond. Hefty, hearty, bouncy.
~~~~~~~~
TYRAMYX
(Just Jungle // Below Ground)
A blend of old school jungle, breaks, and DnB, Tyramyx brings high-energy, fast-paced mixes that'll have you bouncing from start to finish. Tyramyx has been spinning in Preston since 2006 and has played all over the UK, Ibiza and France whilst also promoting her own mega events.
~~~~~~~~
LUKE OUT
(One Five Eight)
https://www.instagram.com/luke_out_/
Luke Breen (aka MrBreen / Luke Out) began his DJ journey in the early 2000s with Herbal Sessions Soundsystem, playing at venues like Preston’s iconic Caribbean Club. As a visual artist, he led the OneFiveEight collective (2008-2018), which gained recognition for underground exhibitions, workshops, and publications, all driven by a DIY ethos and a commitment to supporting underrepresented artists in both visual arts and music. After moving to Manchester, Luke became a regular DJ at club nights, free parties, and festivals like Beat Herder, Kendal Calling, and Sounds From The Other City.
Now settled back in Preston with his family, Luke regularly DJs at local bars and clubs, delivering eclectic sets that could span anything from Jazz, Latin and Hip-Hop to Afrobeat, Funk, Deep House, and Jungle—always infused with Soul.
~~~~~~~~
TEMPORARY BODIES
(Utopian Mechanics)
https://linktr.ee/utopian.mechanics
Temporary Bodies is the new project from Preston-based artist Mike Warburton (Barium Network / Utopian Mechanics). Based entirely around live, improvised performance - on-the-spot loops are fed through an array of fx pedals to create layers of sonorous strings and pads, swirling ambient textures and melodies that range from the Baroque to the bleak.
Inspired by the characteristics of artists like Grouper, MJ Guider, Silent Servant and Deaf Center amongst many more, Temporary Bodies also uses hypnotic drum loops, orchestral motifs and sparse vocals to build a dense, cathartic experience that guides the listener through themes of loss and longing into a place of quiet optimism.

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.

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.
Supporting on the night:
Sid Voltage
Andy Crabree
Subskrybr
Nick Almond
Djaided

Tim Melia

Awesome Friends is curated and hosted by 6 Music's Chris Hawkins, championing the best new and breaking artists and bands at events and festivals across the country, including SXSW, Kendal Calling, and Band On The Wall in Manchester.
Chris Hawkins has a standout show on BBC 6 Music championing alternative anthems and fresh sounds.

Déjà Vega:
Déjà Vega are vocalist and guitarist Jack Fearon, drummer Tom Webster and bassist Mike Newton. After forming in Cheshire, they made the short journey to Manchester, a fitting backdrop to their gritty, guitar led psychedelia.
Rhythmic and rage-fuelled and boasting surging riffs, Fearon's hypnotic slurring lyrics lurch in and out of poetic chants, battling over chaotic drums and the razor-sharp bass lines underneath. Live, Déjà Vega demonstrate that they're a force to be reckoned with.
They weave together creating a pulsating, driving behemoth of original, powerful, psych rock. The guys have created a notoriety for their incredible, energetic, unrivalled live show.
“There are debut albums that come along once in a while that get you straight away. This is one of them.” - Louder Than War Magazine
“If you’ve never seen them live I implore you to” - Urbanista Magazine UK
https://linktr.ee/dejavegaband

Martial Arts:
“Martial Arts are the best new band in Manchester. It isn’t up for debate. They now just need to conquer everywhere else.” - Aah Magazine
Their intense live performances quickly caught the eyes and ear of a key few. With shows for Akoustik Anarkhy, So Young Magazine, Speedy Wunderground, Now Wave & Beyond The Music Festival achieved through word of mouth alone, the 5 piece have emerged as a must see band from the Manchester underground.

Holly Head:
Committed and controversial, Manchester’s rising, kinetic, beat-powered punk four-piece, Holly Head, return for 2025 with their scuffed and confrontational, two-and-a-half-minute blast of incisive social commentary, Whatever Drags You Through It.
Taking notoriety as a signal of connected audience sympathies and riding on the right side of history, last year’s debut release of the band’s unrelenting debut, No Gain, rushed Holly Head to the front of a proactive, politically-motivated creative community. Written in a police cell following arrest due to Britain’s protest laws, the song provided the key to their first BBC 6 Music live session last November, with the performance used to further cementing their uncompromising conviction and use Holly Head’s music to profile urgent causes.

“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.

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.

======================
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.
