***THE TURBANS***
(Gypsy Klezmer Turkish Folk Frenzy!!!)

The Turbans is an international musical collective bringing together exciting traditional near-eastern and eastern-European styles and original compositions, to create a modern and energetic performance with reverence for its ancient roots.

Coming from the intertwining paths of many talented musicians travelling the world, this extraordinary project has grown in a few years from very humble beginnings into a progressive name on the London music scene. Its members have gathered from countries such as Turkey, Bulgaria, Israel, Iran, Italy, Greece and England to perform all around the UK, Turkey, India and Europe.

The Turbans is independent and run by the musicians themselves, bringing music to the people, young and old alike, mixing vibrant spontaneity and authenticity with multi-genre instrumental and vocal excellence. Get ready to DANCE!!!!

***CHAINSKA BRASSIKA***
(New Skool Ska from SE London)

This mischievous rabble from Lewisham have been causing mischief since school, spreading their contagious horn-driven ska anthems across the UK and beyond. Chainska have set stages and faces alight at festivals and during recent 'Grandslam' tour support for Madness, and won the first ever World Reggae Contest at Ostroda festival in Poland which takes them to Jamaica in January to record their 2nd album at Harry J Studios.

***BYOB BRASS BAND***
(Big Brass Band versions of Garage/Hip Hop faves!)

Here comes the sucker punch! Back again by popular demand, North London brassophiles are taking over London and you better watch out. Expect the purest of UK garage classics, spine-tingling hip-hop licks, some tasty latin and tropical flavours, as well as a generous portion of bass for your face. Inviting a couple of extra-special lip-splitting vocalists on the mic for the next few gigs, be warned - this is not for the faint-hearted; this is toe-curling pelican-hurling noughties-mash-up nonsense. Recession-proof brass.

NOTE - BYOB is a band. No, you can't bring your own bottle!
