This week: FRANZ VON and OMAR
Two MASSIVE shows this week
Franz Von
Friday 29th
Born in Jamaica, but now a central part of Sheffield’s hip-hop, afro and soundsystem culture, Franz Von is a MOBO-endorsed wordsmith, fusing rap, boom-bap and dancehall stylings with spoken word to create a distinctive blend with social commentary at the forefront. Perhaps best known as the high-octane emcee of UK jazz fusionists TC & The Groove Family and much loved afrofusion kings K.O.G. & The Zongo Brigade, 2025 sees him make a return as a solo artist, sharing his debut album ‘Take What You Want’
Omar
Sunday 31st
Celebrating 40 years in music, Omar Lyefook MBE—one of the UK’s most celebrated soul artists—returns with his new album Brighter The Days. Since his timeless breakthrough hit There’s Nothing Like This, Omar has defined British soul, blending jazz, funk, R&B, and Caribbean influences into a sound entirely his own.
