]]>+ Frankie Lee
Grammy award winner Patty Griffin is equally acclaimed as an extraordinarily talented singer and musician, and as an uncommonly perceptive songwriter with a genius for character driven story telling. Her work has been covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris, The Dixie Chicks, Joan Baez and Bette Midler. Her tenth album, Servant of Love, is widely regarded as the highlight of an outstandingly rich career – the product of influences ranging from country, folk, blues, gospel and jazz with echoes of North Africa. A modern classic from one of the greatest contemporary singer songwriters.
“A thing of such striking and beguiling beauty... practically impossible to take for granted.” Glide magazine

The Twinkle Brothers with full live band
The Twinkle Brothers formed by Norman (vocal, drums) and Ralston Grant (vocals, rhythm guitar in 1962, are one of the most famous original Jamaican reggae bands. The band expanded with the addition of Eric Barnard (piano), Kyle Hyatt (vocals, percussion) and Albert Green (congos, percussion)
After winning local talent competitions, they became famous for singing in a slick trio style, similar to the Mighty Diamonds.
With an extensive back catalogue of over 60 albums, they have worked with many of the greatest reggae producers including Bunny Lee, Lee Scratch Perry, Sid Bucknor, Phil Pratt and Duke Reid.
In 1975, the Twinkles released their best and most widely known record, Rasta Pon Top, a rasta-infused, roots-heavy demi-masterpiece that included soul and gospel vocal stylings within the deep grooves of reggae bass lines.
To truly experience this legendary band, you need to see them live, as Norman is famous for his energetic performances that deliver an inspiring night of vocal reggae sounds.
This is one band not to miss

]]>Jam Jar DJ's
The John Langan Band are a dynamic trio with a sound that is rooted in Celtic Folk but encompasses Balkan, Roma, Gypsy Swing and Flamenco. The band met in Glasgow and have been playing together for 7 years. Their performances are high energy, unhinged, and musically extravagant, as they take traditional acoustic idioms and deliver them with a punk abandonment and virtuosic flare.
Having played over 100 gigs in the past year alone, they have now established themselves across the UK as being one of the best live Folk bands around. They have over 17 different festival performances this summer including; Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Broadstairs Folk Week, Shambala. They have just released a new EP in May to great critical acclaim...''Astonishing work, boundlessly inventive… driving rhythms and mesmerising folk melodies'' R2 Magazine.

Regulars at Teachings in Dub will remember our Peng Sound special at the beginning of the year - straight fire! Well, as when playing a 7" vinyl disc; after Part I must come Part II...
OSSIA feat. Rankin Snoopy
Peng Sound Records bossman, Ossia, is a militant purveyor of vinyl whether it be in the dancehall, via his various record labels, or his jointly run online record store; RwdFwd. His Peng Sound nights began in the infamous Take 5 Cafe on Stokes Croft, underground and grass-roots they (and of course the label) have always showcased artists and music that Ossia is 100% behind. Joined by Bristol Reggae don Rankin Snoopy (Unique Star), their debut set at Teachings is set to be packed full of dubplate gems and original deejay lyrical niceness!
ISHAN SOUND feat. Rider Shafique
His 2013 debut release on Peng Sound caught the attention of vinyl buyers around the globe, deep and dread with Ras Addis on vocals. Ishan has since had releases on the wonderful Zam Zam in the US, Pinch's world renowned Tectonic Recordings, not to mention his eight track double vinyl EP back on Peng earlier this year. Hard-hitting minimal dubwise is what we have come to expect from Ishan, his material has been strongly supported by fellow Peng Sound artists Dubkasm and Gorgon Sound and continues to tear up dances world wide. Although known for cutting dubplates Ishan has also recently launched his 'live' set where he dubs his material on the spot, spontaneous mixes in real time. This is what we have in store for us at the next chapter of Teachings and with the ever-conscious Rider Shafique joining him on the microphone we already know Ishan is going to come heavy like lead!
IRATION STEPPAS SOUNDSYSTEM
You know a sound system is top of the game when they run a special, and the whole crowd cheer at the first bar. The mighty Iration Steppas, an unstoppable force outta Leeds, have been tearing up dances for over 20 years now, and they definitely know how to shake the room. With Mark Iration at the I-trols, selection comes from the top draw each and every time. They get the perfect balance between lost gems, forward thinking dubwise and a whole heap of dubplates and specials. Their hard work and professionalism is very much to thank for the spread of reggae music and for pushing it forward to newer heights. They'll be joined by the mighty Danman on the mic always ready and prepared to chant down Babylon with his righteous Rastaman lyrical vibration. Running dubs inna year 3000 style into the night; if you didn't know by now, Iration Steppas are the general!
]]>SJM Concerts & Metropolis presents
Electronic artist and drum & bass legend Netsky is set to bring his incredible live show back to the UK this winter alongside his full band and a host of very special guests. The exclusive five date run will see him play some of the UK’s major cities, kicking things off in Brighton on December 8th, stopping in Bristol, London and Manchester and finishing in Birmingham on December 12th.
Netsky’s rise up the ranks has been a sight to behold. He first made his name with Hospital Records in 2009 with a series of blistering releases including single ‘Memory Lane’ and his infamous self-titled debut album ‘Netsky’ , which propelled the talented young producer from Belgium into the premiere league. Starting out with an underground drum ‘n’ bass label like Chase & Status did before him, Hospital Records ended up being the perfect springboard for Boris Daenen to get to where he is today.
