USUALLY AT THIS POINT WE REFLECT

on what went down over the last couple of months but we have swiftly arrived at a time where we are looking back at another year almost past.

People are already using the phrase “shopping days to Christmas” as a volume of time measurement with the result being November’s Jack Savoretti and Alexander O’Neal show tickets already becoming more sought after than a next generation games console to a kid.

The rush has begun as this years final couple of months are packed with artists who need no introduction that many would give an arm or leg to see as up close and personal as is only possible here.

From Femi Kuti, Dub Pistols and Cornell Campbell in November into a month long Christmas party with Da Lata returning to the stage, Jocelyn Brown, The Brand New Heavies, Jon B and Roy Ayers and The Blockheads throughout December.

We all have our favourite moments for the year some of our personal highlights include performances by the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Trevor Nelson, Louie Vega, Candi Staton, Teedra Moses, The Twang and the Eglo Records showcase. We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

TUNDE BAIYEWU The Lighthouse Family front man has achieved in excess of 20 million global sales. Now free from the constraints of a group, he has come into his own.

Tunde’s first new material in over eight years suggests that there is more than may have initially met the eye. ‘Diamond In A Rock’ is a more soulful, personal and eclectic offering than his prior work. Of going it alone he believes “Now is when I need to really truly say what I want to say, the way I want to say it...”TUNDE.CO.UK

FEMI KUTI & THE POSITIVE FORCE

Not satisfied with just being the King’s heir, Femi has always been committed to redefining Afrobeat for new generations. In ‘85 he put together The Positive Force band and during the 90’s he’d achieved recognition away from the vast shadow cast by his father.

His LPs from 98’s ‘Shoki’ to 2008’s ‘Day By Day’ are evidence of how this charismatic bandleader streamlined Afrobeat’s sound, making it punchier, more immediate, more up front and personal. It goes without saying that his contribution to world music is why Afrobeat is current and relevant.FEMIKUTI.TV

TONBRUKET

Swedish band Tonbruket formed during the 1990s with bassist Dan Berglund and guitarist Johan Lindström and keyboardists Marti Hederos and drummer Andreas Werliin are stars of coming together from their respective jazz or alt-rock bands.

The marriage of rock and jazz isn’t easy, but Tonbrucket don’t fall into the trap of indulging in flashy solos or speed-freak machismo. Theirs is a ‘less is more’ approach, sticking closely to the essence of a composition’s tone, melody and groove. Perhaps accidentally Berglund refers to the tracks as ‘songs’ even though there are no vocals.TONBRUKET.SE

JACK SAVORETTI

Though he has three critically acclaimed albums to his name and his music has featured heavily across the top TV shows, husky voiced acoustic performer Jack Savoretti says 2012’s ‘Before The Storm’ feels like his first first album. “The first two felt like my education and my college years, and this feels like my first real job”.

Leave what you think about beatboxing at the door, Reeps One is a vocal force. If you are unfamiliar with this walking, breathing sound system, he is the first to ever vocalise bass music in a way that has had producers and scientists alike scratching their heads and invariably dancing.

Myron & E’s debut ‘Broadway’ dropped this summer on Stones Throw. The Soul Investigators provided demos from overseas with the duo stationed on the west coast writing the lyrics and singing all the vocals. E has a practice of sending YouTube links of classic soul and R&B songs to the band to provide inspiration for recreating that vibe. One such link was to Edwin Starr’s ‘Running Back And Forth’. The Soul Investigators responded with ‘Everyday Love’. Other attention grabbers from the LP are ‘If I Gave You My Love’ and ‘Clap Sing’.

TUESDAY 3 DECEMBER £22.50

THEA GILMORE Thea Gilmore’s career is one of the great UK case stories for artists that go against the grain. Once told by two A&R men that she had “missed her moment” she also famously refused to sign to major record labels, refused to work with a famous dance remix team and refused to say she was sleeping with a soap star in order to gain tabloid exposure. In 2003 she hit the UK charts for the first time with her 4th album “Avalanche” and the hit singles “Juliet” and the aptly titled “Mainstream”.

MONDAY 2 DECEMBER£15

THURSDAY 5, FRIDAY 6& SATURDAY 7 DECEMBER£26

JOCELYN BROWN True and living Disco Soul diva, Jocelyn Brown’s voice is the driving force of over twenty club hits as a vocalist with Musique, Inner Life, Cerrone and Salsoul Orchestra.

Her powerful and distinctive voice gained her solo recognition in the 80s with Jocelyn appearing as a backing singer in the Bette Midler movie ‘Divine Madness’ followed by the release of ‘Somebody Else’s Guy’ and ‘Love’s Gonna Get You’.

The sampling of her voice on Snap’s ‘I Got The Power’ and the lead vocal to Incognito’s ‘Always There’ are also examples of her voice’s durability.


SATURDAY 14 DECEMBER£10

HACKNEY COLLIERY BAND CHRISTMAS PARTY Formed in 2008 out of a desire to play music that appealed to the feet as much as to the ears, the Hackney Colliery Band is east London’s unique take on the brass band.
