On Saturday we’ll see Emma-Jean Thackray will take the stage, after supporting Nubya Garcia at Fiddlers last year, I’m sure she’ll be delighted to return back to Bristol to deliver an enigmatic set with heavy percussion and down-tempo beats.
Joining her will be corto.alto, an 8-piece Glaswegian outfit that combine jazz, neo-soul and hip hop into their funky fresh sets. Following in their footsteps – quite literally, as they’re also from Glasgow – will be AKU!, a powerful trio consisting of saxophone, trombone and drums. Think Moon Hooch meets Death Grips.
Closing the night will be DJ Rebecca Vasmant, who is also from Glasgow, there must be something in the water there. Rebecca will be providing grooves until the early morn and delivering a jazz fueled set.
