Theo Travis
Quirky, quietly trippy and deliciously uncategorisable, Travis is as powerful live solo as with any of his great contemporaries (Soft Machine; Gong; Anja Garbarek etc.).
"British saxophonist and composer Theo Travis's career on the local jazz scene may have identified him (for a small but attentive audience) as one of the UK's most creative and least clone-like of the younger straightahead jazzers - but there's a lot more to him than that.." - The Guardian.
"Flautist/saxophonist Theo Travis is a strong composer, and his accomplished writing provides varied and attractive material.." - The Scotsman

Mahood
Latest incarnation from UK's finest performance artists of 25 years - bizarre conceptual theatre now incorporating live sonic assault.
Walt and Graham formed Mahood in late 2005 after working together in the BET4 Artists collective for over 15 years in performance art, music theatre, dance and a number of experimental musical projects. Unlike almost any other band playing in this genre, Mahood incorporate physical performance in their sets as they create sounds and improvise physical actions as an integral part of each show. This builds on their long time involvement in music-theatre and live art events and results in unique performances.
Raagnagrok
London's favorite electric sitar / loops team - hypnotic and seriously heavy raga rock.
Martin Archer
Exciting new futurist folk from Sheffield's prolific bridger-of-gaps composer-maverick.
