Opus vs. Word Life Present a night a mixed, varied and genuine entertainment for just £4.
Kicking off the night In true Opus style we have hooked up with Word Life, Sutco and Shrimps who will showcase some of the most interesting up and coming talent on the Sheffield live literature and comedy scene. Proceeds are going towards taking original SutCo play 'Dissexions' to The Edinburgh Festival this summer.
To Headline we have the honor of welcoming The PeteBox for the first time in Sheffield. Voted Radio 1's Champion Beatboxer. This man uses a loop peddle and his voice to create a Beatbox show like no other taking you through the genres of Jazz, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass. To be fully convinced type 'Petebox' into YouTube, sit back and be amazed.

2nd on the bill we have a band called Worriedaboutsatan. Think Explosions in the Sky, The Cocteau Twins and an ambient 65Days. Bring your dancing shoes!

To end the night Opus DJ's such as DJ4D and Mr Mercer will bring you a blend of many artists featured on the impressive Warp and Planet Mu roster, ending with and eclectic mix of New Jungle and liquid D&B to dance away the wee hours.
This is night is like no other in Sheffield so come down and support these artists that would not normally be found on the same bill. We hope nights like this will expose people to art forms and music that they may not normally come into contact with in an attempt to show the similarities in different genres and styles.
Our first birthday is upon us and it will be dropping like... well like a bomb!
To celebrate we have invited back some old friends. The line up is as follows: -
Wednesday 30th of May @ Upstairs of DQ, Sheffield City Centre
THE BROKEN DOOR (Live, improvised drum and bass)
