Hungry for a party? Look
no further than the scrumptious Los
Albertos, a six-piece ska sensation who will more than satisfy your
appetite with foot-stomping, feel-good sounds; think Madness, the Clash
and Santana. Two saxophones, a trumpet, guitar, drums, bass, cheeky lyrics
and more energy than an Olympic sprint team Los Albertos have a wicked
sense of fun and can be very tongue-in-cheek. This was a superb show by a
local band that effortlessly represent this city's bohemian vibe.

Saturday 16th SonVer
2pm £4 BUY
TICKETS HERE
SonVer are a London based four piece who bridge the twin worlds of classical music and rock music with a refined natural unforced ease, this is something that just feels instinctively right, something they just naturally do.
An audio-visual double bill.
"SonVer are a radiant experience, warmly crafted pieces of instrumental post-rock, classically ambient, organic, alive – cinematic soundscapes that gently flow around embracing cello, slow-motion guitars, considered understated bass, drums and effects. – this is a lot more than another post-rock album." |
