Gig BARDD

Friday 11 October 7:30 pm

Bardd’s Unique Dualingual Global Music Fusion takes the audience on a lyrical journey from the Bardic Roots of Wales to a Freedom Funk Disco where everyone’s on The One.

Fused out of virtuoso MC and Beatbox, innovative Live Looping, Electric Kalimba, Folk Violin, Jazz Organ, Blues Guitar and Spoken Word Poetry the three members of Bardd fuse their sound through a shared love of dope beats, supreme lyricism and great music from all genres.

Bardd are Award Winning Spoken Word Artist Martin Daws (Young People’s Laureate Wales 2013-16), legendary Emcee, Beatbox and Live Looper Mr Phormula (Double Wales Beatbox Champion) and outstanding multi-instrumentalist Henry Horrell (Guitars/Keys/Violin).

Bardd state their aim as “bringing all that we are together into one beautiful groove: our different instruments, our different languages, our different musical styles, it’s all in there working out the differences together.”

Gig ORCHESTRE LES MANGELEPA & Racubah DJ’s

Friday 18 October 7:30 pm

The hero’s are back for Black History Month. Originally from the Swahili speaking Eastern Congo Les Mangelepa were formed 40 years ago in Kenya. They have released more than 13 albums and penned some of East Africa’s best-loved songs. At their peak they kept fans busy producing hit after hit; from Zambia to Uganda and from Kenya to Tanzania their brilliant arrangements and superbly crafted songs kept East Africa marching to their beat. In the 1970s their stage shows were breath-taking; afro hairdos, jump-suits, bell-bottoms and platform shoes. They looked the part and now in their 70s Mangelepa are the unsung elder statesmen of a classic sound that still shakes the dance-floor.
