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. For two and a half decades they have been folding these ingredients into passionate live shows and a unique listening experience.
These shows will be as innovative and impassioned as ever, featuring tracks from their past albums on Warp Records, V2 and Lo Recordings.
The line-up will be Ali Friend (Double Bass, Vocals and Gato drum), Rich Thair (Drums), Tom Challenger (Sax, Clarinet and Keyboards), Tara Cunningham (Guitar and Vocals), Natty Wylah (Vocals).
Following the hugely successful release of their album ‘Everybody is Somebody’ on Lo Recordings and the accompanying UK tour in 2022, Red Snapper will be returning to some of their favourite venues as well as
adventuring to new venues they have never played.
This is an increasingly rare opportunity to catch the legendary musical force in these intimate gig venues. Could be one for the history books…!
“The only unsurprising thing about Red Snappers creative journey is their unswerving
commitment to progression and innovation”.

The Gideon Conn Trio:
The Gideon Conn trio (John Cowham - double bass and Bruce Sargent - drums) play an original brand of laid back hip hop with jazz and soul influences. It’s uplifting and thought provoking music. The sound palette is warm and soft, allowing the listener to fully absorb the lyrics whilst enjoying the beats which snap and attack with more presence because of their restraint. The bass weaves a conversation around the guitar and vocal. A couple of choice covers by The Roots and Gil Scott Heron sit happily alongside Gideon’s writing and help set the tone for a unique journey through hip hop, jazz and soul.

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.
Supporting OMA, the hip hop instrumental maestros helped La French enjoy his love of the genre chopping up samples from his own set on the beloved SP404 which had become a solid fixture in his live set.
Releasing his first LP Pre-Post on vinyl in 2023 on the weird and wonderful Waxing Crescent records became a reward for the hard graft put in over the years. Selling out on physical in just a week, glowing reviews and tracks from the album were played on BBC radio 1, BBC 6 music and an array of other stations including the infamous Seattle based KEXP.
The future seems bright as a 2024 UK tour and festival appearances are already in place.

DJs:
Daydream warms us up with a sonic journey through the realms of Trip-hop, Nu-jazz, and Dub.
While the after-party (11pm - 2am) looks double hot, with double Lukes: Luke Out + Bolts going back to back with a varied bag of selections from Dub Disco, Japanese Electronica, Wonky Techno Beat Fuelled Jazz and Beats & Pieces from all four corners of the globe.
