Bop Gun

Emerging from Lancaster's jazz scene, Bop Gun blend jazz foundations with the driving rhythms of funk and rock, with impressionistic drums, harmonic keys and a funky bass backing up electric guitar and saxophone leads. They love to dig into deep grooves and jam out on big solos!

Ubunye

Featuring two powerful vocalists from South Africa’s Kwa Zulu Natal region combined with a dynamic rhythm section and an array of guest artists, Ubunye’s music is a unique blend of contemporary jazz, Afro-pop, and traditional ‘Isigqui’ Zulu music.

Their inspirational fusion of jazz, dance, and afro-beat that encapsulates the soul of South Africa, has won the band a legion of fans across the UK and beyond.

An explosive live act, Ubunye were winners of the best UK jazz ensemble award at the Parliamentary Jazz awards. For this extra special Lancaster Jazz Festival show, the normal sextet version of the band will be expanded to a nonet with the addition of horns and percussion.
