Gaz Mayall DJ's and hosts London's longest running one-nighter Gaz's
Rockin Blues. He occasionally plays live with his ska band The
Trojans. He first began Gaz's Rockin' Blues in July 1980 after a few
guest appearances at the Two-Tone club, Oxford Street in 1979.
The eldest son of Blues legend John Mayall, Gaz was raised on a musical
diet of R&B and was dragged around every beat, pop & rock festival
and venues throughout the sixties as a child. First becoming a lifelong
fan of reggae as a kid on the football terraces in the skin head era circa
1968-72.
Gaz began collecting records aged 17, bluk buying cheap reggae and ska
collections down street markets such as Portbello road and Brick Lane
at a time when it seemed no one wanted them.
Also a great fan of boogie woogie, Rock&Roll, traditional Irish music,
funk and world music, Gaz, heavily influenced by a family friend Radio
One DJ and blues musician Alexis Korner, pursued his love of music in
earnest and now has a world famous collection of predominantly black dance
music ranging from the first tribal drum beats to the latest drum &
bass.
For the last nineteen years Gaz has been running his own record label
Gaz's Rockin' Records producing ska acts and artistes around the world.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our third LP release...
"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters.
Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...
The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...
*** Bringing the spirit of Brazil to London - The DIVYARUP Latin Band will be playing MPB / Bossa / Samba & more with true Brazillian flair! Divyarup will also be playing tracks from his album Tempo de Luz.
*** Authentic Brazillian CARNAVAL DANCERS will Samba like no one else to the sounds of Batucada in original costumes!

The greatest composer of Brasil: Antonio Carlos Jobim will feature greatly in the night, along with the greatest, most inspirational female singer of Brazil: Elis Regina and Batucada kings OLODUM!
