Nottingham Gig Buddies

Saw Yard Act at The Bodega during Dot to Dot last year and loved them.

They are doing an instore for their new album, and while it's sold out, I thought I'd put this on in case anyone already has tickets. There is a waitlist available so hopefully if you wanted to attend you'll be able to get one.

Tickets are from £14.50, including the new album waitlist here:

Theon Cross is one of those rare musicians whose vision has redefined their instrument. His unique approach to the tuba has expanded the instrument’s sonic possibilities in revolutionary fashion, restoring it to a long-forgotten prominence as a crucial part of the contemporary jazz ensemble. Through his combination of technical mastery, studio smarts, deep musical knowledge and expansive vision, the power and originality of Theon’s playing has reinvented the tuba’s place in modern music.

Exploring the tuba’s possibilities in the light of diasporic bass culture – ‘Afro-Diaspora Music’ or ADM, as he calls it – Theon has worked to develop the full sonic spectrum of his instrument, transforming it into a total 21st century sound-system, powered by breath. A graduate of Guildhall school of music and an alumnus of the legendary Tomorrow’s Warriors, he is as at home with ensemble jazz as he is when playing road marches, collaborating with grime stars, or providing bassline pressure in reggae, afrobeat or soca settings.

Local favourite and Gig Buddies friend George Gadd plays at Rough Trade on Friday 28th January. The gig is a fundraiser for their long-awaited album recording and will be a full band show.

Joining George on the night are Penny Moon, Good Hustles and Arms & Hearts.

Tickets are just £6 from Dice here:

All being well, I'll be around slightly before the gig for a pint and some food (likely at either The Angel or somewhere else nearby).
