LONDON ASTROBEAT ORCHESTRA

“This is The Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense delivered live & with a degree of raw, cosmic, human energy that will totally, utterly & completely blow your wig off..!”…..(World Headquarters)

Selling out their first 4 debut shows at The Jazz Café, London, the band were affectionately nicknamed the 'African Talking Heads'.

The 'London Astrobeat Orchestra' recreate tracks from the iconic Talking Heads' 'Stop Making Sense' movie, live and in a West African dance style. Focusing on tracks from the cult classic albums ‘Remain In The Light’ and ‘Speaking in Tongues’ the ‘London Astrobeat Orchestra’ are a funky, rhythmic, hypnotic, anthemic, uplifting, groovy, percussive, smack on point, earth-shatteringly tight, live band.

EDD BATEMAN'S WEST AFRICAN LOVE AFFAIR

"It'll knock you down" - London African Music Festival
"Really, really great" - BBC
"You'd better listen!" - WorldMusic.co.uk
"Brilliant, unmissable" - Soundcheque.com

Also touring this year are 'Edd Bateman's West African Love Affair'

“Edd Bateman’s in love - and he wants the whole world to know! Summer 2016 saw the launch of Edd Bateman’s West African Love Affair - a band, an album and world tour - and the first mbalax song (“Billahi Walahi”) composed and sung by an Englishman. Scintillating kora and balafon combine with relentless soukous guitar and subtle Senegalese mbalax grooves over a captivating Cameroonian backbeat - and all underpinned by Edd’s pulsating basslines. If this doesn’t get you on your feet, bopping and swaying, after the first four bars, you’re obviously in need of an emergency groove transfusion… Go and share the love with Edd and his amazing West African band this Summer 2016. Because when love calls - you’d better listen”! (©Glyn Phillips - WorldMusic.co.uk)
