THE TROJANS
(Afro Celtic Ska 11 piece band led by the legendary Gaz mayall)

Specialising in ska & reggae with a dash of soul, funk, R&B, irish folk and world roots, The Trojans were formed in late 1986 by the elder son of British Blues legend John Mayall. Several albums were licensed to Japan from '88 with 'Spirit of Adventure' on Sony records, opening up an avenue of succesive tours with mainstream coverage to a large audience where they are still very popular today.
The Trojans tour often mainly in Europe and do lots of one-off special shows at festivals, clubs, bars and private parties being popular with the young and old and people of all cultures to suit our multicultural day and age.

 

TA MERE
(Jazz cabaret / 1920-30-40's popular music, french ball musette, gipsy swing, jump jive, russian and balkan traditionals, bluegrass, celtic music)

Ta Mère - 3 guys-about-town, on the town, getting down and swinging hard. A creation by special request of the BBC for the 2007 Glasgow Film Festival, they've catapulted from these auspicious beginnings directly onto the London scene. Embrace the sultry evening, suffused with the hint of yesteryear and awash with a fresh undercurrent crackling and sparkling away. Champagne flutes fully charged, and the ice cubes clinking happily in their tumblers, dance those troubles away to the latest sensation. Spanning all from the slow grind, through jump jive and touching on the jazzy boogie and eclectic points in between, allow Ta Mère to escort you away from the mundane and sweep you up into a state of bubbling hilarity and joy as the joint gets jumpin'. Laissez les beaux temps rouler...

 

THE SKAMONICS
(
Jazz meets ska, London style)

The Skamonics are an 8 piece jazz meets ska band, playing a unique mix of two tone, ska, jazz and completely unexpected covers.
Imagine Herbie Hancock jamming with The Specials, or if Kraftwerk were from Kingston Jamaica... Sharp suits, silly hats and a killer horn section made up of some of London's top jazz and ska musicians, the key to the Skamonic sound is that it appeals to so many different ages and backgrounds. From reggae fans to jazz heads, to people who just want to dance, the skamonics put a smile on most faces. Kids (of all ages) love it.

 

MOGADOR (album - Gnawa All Stars)
Gnawa (or Gnaoua) fusion - world music from Morocco.

This is a fusion band about acoustic traditional north african spiritual music mixed with groove and modern instruments. Gnawa music is a very ancient spiritual music played by brotherhoods of nomadic musicians.

 

JOHNJOHN (album - JohnJohn)
Three piece pop band based in London.

European blend of pop ballads, acoustic tunes with Latin feel, and guitar anthems; warm soulful voices casting a reflection of modern life packed with emotion and satire.

Hi Benoît;

You're not so underground, because i know you...(smile)...

J'espére que tu vas bien ?...

L'avantage de travailler à son propre rythme, c'est d'être libre et totalement indépendant
de cette précieuse matière appelée "temps"...

Car la vie c'est ce qui passe pendant que beaucoup travaillent dur
à tout un tas d'autres projets...lol
