Fofoulah
Fofoulah (meaning “it’s there” in Wolof) is a London-based group featuring
Senegalese vocalist, dancer and percussionist Batch Gueye, Tom
Challenger (Red Snapper) on sax/synths, guitarist Phil Stevenson (Iness
Mezel), Johnny Brierley on bass, Gambian sabar drummer Kaw Secka and
drummer Dave Smith (Robert Plant, Juju). With the rhythms of the Sabar
drums – a traditional form of Wolof drumming from Gambia and Senegal –
at its heart, Fofoulah’s music has evolved into an inspired cosmopolitan
mélange that also incorporates elements of electronic music, dub,
improvisation, afro-rock and Wolof dance.

Trianglecuts
Trianglecuts is the post-punk, alternative electronica of Manchester duo Gwendolen
Osmond (The Seer/Gashes/Saboteur) and Doug Hemingway (The
Ascension/Ghost Replica); mixing together haunting, dark vocal loop
station magic with the intense cathartic cry of raw electronica,
channelling the inner human psyche of wounds, torment and frustration.

Errant Monks
Psychopposition
– Advanced Guard. Defying cuts on the frontline. Community care
provided through communication of the light to the lost, the lied to and
the left behind. Heady body music from the Manchester/Calderdale
collective.

Sarah Yaseen
Sarah
Yaseen aka Sarah The Sufi is a Manchester based Sufi singer/songwriter.
With a soulful voice and accompanied by a guitar or darabouka, Sarah’s
raw Acappella/cantata style takes the audience into her world of
emotions and feelings of love, faith, personal struggle, including
sharing her political stance through influential, unique compositions.
She comes from an Islamic tradition of religious singers. Inspired by
her father Sufi Muhammad Yaseen, Sarah’s voice, words and melodies reach
out and touch the human soul.

Locean
Looking
for more restrictions than the page or traditional readings for her
poems, Locean was formed by Lauren Bolger in 2013 as one way of carving
her own restrictions to place over her award-winning poetry.

This is a standing show.
