Event information

Minghe Morte
Ten musicians, three bands (some shared personnel), three different approaches in an evening of new music, experimental jazz, song and heavy skronk. Minghe Morte have been heard on Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio 1 show and Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone. Musically bouncing between garage-house, speed-punk and death-jazz, the band offers up ‘an intense, scatological burst of violent jump cuts and vein-busting skronk’...(Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise). Personnel: Chris Bussey (drums, electronics), Christophe de Bezenac (reeds, electronics), Colin Sutton (guitars, electronics).

Plummer’s World Sanguine Report
A frightening and formidable ensemble. Andrew Plummer ‘...quite clearly a deranged swamp beast trapped inside the body of an Englishman’ (Wrath Records), pens cut-throat improvisations and song, drawing on a wealth of influences (Kagel, Scelsci, Beefheart, Messiaen and Waits to name a few). Personnel: James Allsopp (reeds), Alex Bonney (trumpet), Matthew Bourne (keys), Tom Greenhalgh (drums), Dave Kane (bass) and Chris Sharkey (guitar) ‘...deep, dark jazz-infused blues, underpinned with a beating (or should that be beaten and bloody) heart of punk.’ (Drinkmilk).

Bilbao Syndrome
The group’s London debut – featuring Matthew Bourne (keys), Chris Bussey (drums), Andrew Plummer (vocals), Chris Sharkey (guitar) and Colin Sutton (bass).
