Hosted by Zion Flex

Alabama 3 Acoustic and Unplugged is a four-piece outfit consisting of Larry Love (vocals), Aurora Dawn (vocals), Rock Freebase (guitar), and Harpo Strangelove (harmonica).

With this line up they bring a whole new dimension to the songs made famous by Alabama 3.  This isn’t acid house music, this is country/gospel/delta blues, but played with a rhythm you’ve still got to dance to. With the addition of Aurora Dawn to the line up there’s an added injection of soul – or, as it says on the cover of the band’s previous album ‘Revolver Soul’ this is ‘soul music with a gun against your head’.  Their latest album 'Shoplifting 4 Jesus' is out now.

Benefit gig in aid of Womankind - we will also be collecting with a number of other charities on the night. So why not join us and catch Alabama 3 in an intimate setting in aid of some great causes!

Fixed in Space and Time are a 5 piece electronic dance-punk band incorporating live drums, percussion, 2 guitarists and lead singer with synths and loops.

They are somewhat difficult to categorise but influences range from postpunk bands such as P.I.L. to krautrock like Can, electronica and the free party / festival scenes of the 90s.

Fusing electronic sounds, dance music basslines and post-punk space-rock guitar posturing and attitude F.I.S.T. are most definately a 'live' act. Recent gigs have been very well received with a growing eclectic fan base. In the words of a recent convert "exactly what live music should be, exciting and mental"
