March 14th

 

Afternoon: Simon Mulcaster

 

Simon's experiments with composition began at age 7 when a bright orange guitar with only a top and bottom string, and cellotape holding the back together, arrived in the house. The other strings eventually took their place on the guitar, and he was up and running trying to get the hang of an F chord and wondering why Em sounded so much better than all the other chords. After playing with various school bands there followed a five or six year fascination with solo acoustic guitar and singer-songwriters generally.

 

Evening: 6ix Toys

 

6ix Toys are the 7 piece funk monster who have played alongside the likes of Sting, Ms Dynamite, Alice Russell, The Nextmen, Youngblood Brass Band, The Apples, Dj Vadim & Yarah Bravo, Quantic and Mr Scruff as well as performing at The 2008 Isle of Wight Festival and V Festivals and received airplay on BBC Radio One and BBC 6 Music.

Afternoon: Shaheen

 

Mixing her talents as soulful singer/songwriter and conscious rapper/poet, Shaheen was first heard with Leeds based nu-jazz band Today’s Mathematics. Played on Radio 1, such singles as ‘Butterfly‘ were acclaimed by such gurus as Trevor Nelson, leading to later collaborations with Tru Thought’s Nostalgia 77. Produced by Homecut’s Testament, ‘Perfume’ was released by First Word Records, and now heading solo, Shaheen’s stunning harmonies and melodies are to be showcased this year, and is the new British talent to watch and listen out for…

 

Evening: Lack of Afro

 

As a multi instrumentalist, in-demand producer and re-mixer, a DJ with his finger on the cutting edge of contemporary sounds, and an ear tastefully cocked to the hippest soul, jazz and funk music from the 60´s and 70´s, Adam Gibbons, the young man at the centre of the Lack Of Afro phenomenon, has already established an unrivalled reputation as one of the most crucial names at work in funk and dance music today.

Afternoon: Manu Delago

 

A music prodigy playing drums from the age of 2, this is simply not one that you can afford to miss!

 

Evening: Gentlemans Dub Club

 

This is always a massive show at HiFi! Gentleman’s Dub Club is a nine-piece band that formed in Leeds in early 2006. With a style based in dub, ska and roots reggae, GDC have burst onto the UK circuit, rocking gigs and festivals up and down the country with their super high energy show. Combining tight grooves and a heavyweight sound, Gentleman’s Dub Club bring the party to crowds of all ages hungry for a dance floor workout, with their gigs often ending in a frenzied mosh pit reminiscent of a mid 80’s ska night. Live effects and mixing make for a crystal clear sound, and the band’s larger than life stage presence makes for a mesmerising experience.

Afternoon: Sally Doherty

 

A beautiful jazz singer with a hauntingly ethereal voice. Returning after a break to have her baby this is a very welcome return from Sally.

 

Evening: DEEP STREET SOUL + RANDA & THE SOUL KINGDOM

 

Deep Street Soul are funk DJ & drummer Agostino ‘Sol Loco’ Soldati, bass player & soul aficionado Papa ‘J’ Hunter, Cropper lovin’ Matt Green and Queen of the Hammond Ms. Monique ‘Mon Cherie’ Boggia. Getting together in early 06’ they formed with the simple aim of recapturing some old skool southern flavors they’d DJ'd over the previous decade. Inspired by the breakout of nufunk throughout Europe & the States (not forgetting Osaka Monaurail and Australia’s own - The Bamboos) they hit the clubs. Starting with an initial batch of Booker T & Meter’s covers, these quickly morphed into their own set of raw break filled funk & soul.

Evening: Protect the Beat

 

The music classifies as jazz/groove set in a commercial songs format yet live Protect the Beat still cannot avoid getting 'seriously funky'.

 

May 2nd

 

Afternoon: Rosie Brown

 

A founding member of Rafiki Jazz Rosie has been described by The Guardian as ‘an intelligent and eloquent singer with more than a touch of the great blues buzz about whom a substantial interest is spreading.’

Afternoon Hat Fitz

 

The ‘wild man’ of Australian blues, Fitz hails from Queensland. Backed by Belfast’s Cara Robinson on drums, Fitz plays guitar (usually a metal-bodied resonator), stomps his foot and sings the blues with a physical presence and power that remind listeners of past blues greats like Son House and Charley Patton. In many ways, he is Australia’s counterpart to R.L. Burnside or T-Model Ford, playing gritty blues of mesmerising, deceptive simplicity.
