This weekend - a little bit of everything

So what have we got coming up for you over the weekend?

Well, starting tonight (weekends start on Thursdays these days) we’ve got “white boy shit”, in the back bar, “running the gamut of guitars from folky to ferocious”. Your host is dj daddynohit with special guest nerdlings.

On Friday the Hare and Hounds hosts a couple of events to keep you entertained. Fieldview are kicking off with a night of eclectic music (and by eclectic we’re talking ska, reggae, post-dance, folk, jazz, funk, hip hop and dub) and cakes. Old School Tie, The Heel and KTB are playing and Jam Jah DJ’s, Matty Garber, SIncopate and The Beat Hustler will keep the tunes flowing between the bands. It’s all in aid of Oxfam Outreach too.

In the smaller room, Sonido Callejero and Sam Redmore are the guests of Magpie Brown. Sonido Callejero are the latin hip hop crew who played here in February. It’s great to have them back. Sam will be here to show why his reputation continues to grow, armed with a potent bag of beats.

Saturday, and the main room welcomes Jibbering along with two bands – 1Eye have just put out their debut single and boast “a distinctive mix of jazz, reggae, latin and soul” so expect to be taken from freeform jazz to skanking beats and back again. Sister Henry and the Prescriptions are an offshoot of the Munchbreak collective – rich, soulful vocals and tight funk will the order of the day.

Meanwhile, Sumo Soundsystem are back with Masters TNT & VYTOL. Mr Boogie Dave & Roskoe provide a gut wobbling warm up to another night of attitude free D’n’B,with Breaks from Dani.c & Lopan plus there’s the added bonus of it being TNT’s birthday.

On Sunday we’ve got something a little different for you – Blackbud are about to drop their debut album having been lauded by critics from the likes of Zane Lowe, MTV2, Uncut Magazine, Classic Rock and The Guardian. Get em while they’re hot. Providing support on the night are Matt Geary and band and Lee Rogers.

Looking forward to seeing you over the weekend. Say hi in the comments if you’re thinking of dropping in.
