It’s that time of year again when seemingly all of Birmingham gear up for our annual jollies to beautiful Tisno in Croatia for Garden Festival. This years lineup boasts some impressive names from the likes of Nico Jaar, Tiger and Woods, Kenny Dope, local legends Free School and of course the (in) famous Leftfoot boat party!
As we know that not everyone can make it out this year, this Friday we’ll be hosting a Garden Festival warm up with no other than Norman Jay MBE!
We’re sure Norman needs little introduction, but it’s safe to say that his parties at The Hare and Hounds always go off and it’s for this reason why it’s consistently Normans favourite Midlands show……So although we can’t promise you sand and sunshine, we can promise you a good times soundsystem that takes in everything from rare groove, funk, soul, afrobeat, disco, boogie, ska, rocksteady and absolutely everything else in between…..
Not sure what to expect? Check out a Red Bull Music Academy mix he did recently…

After their excellent set last October, we are very excited to welcome back The Travelling Band, courtesy of Birmingham Promoters.
A recording project in New York City in 2006 led a collective of like minded souls to record what was to become ‘Under The Pavement’, The Travelling Band’s debut studio album. Released two years later, the record was very well received by the UK media, gaining BBC 6 Music ‘Album of The Day’, BBC Radio 2’s ‘Single of The Week’ and a featured song in the Ian Dury biopic ‘Sex Drugs & Rock n Roll’.
Their second album, ‘Screaming is Something’, released last May, demonstrated a giant leap forward for the band. An album which isn’t quite soul music, isn’t quite folk, isn’t quite pop, country or rock. The Travelling Band are currently in the studio working on their eagerly anticipated third record.
“The Travelling Band’s shimmering blend of cosmic-country-pop, understated psychedelia, vocal harmonies and nu-folk has made them one of the most talked about artists to emerge from the Manchester music scene – “If you consider the term Mancunian Americana to be an oxymoron try listening to The Travelling Band. Brilliant.” – Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music
