With classic tones and blues riffs that mix very well with the weight of the seventies rock and roll and Brazilian music, Baião, and Desert Blues.

Open you ears, arms and hearts to welcome The Jim Jones All Stars into your
lives! Fronted by legendary testifier Jim Jones – formerly of Thee Hypnotics,
Black Moses, The Jim Jones Revue and Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind – his
latest project sees him swan dive into not only his primordial influences and his
own classic-packed back catalogue, but also into a spicy gumbo of hot, new
sounds.
Joined by former Jim Jones Revue members Gavin Jay (bass) and Elliot
Mortimer (piano and keyboards), The Jim Jones All Stars are augmented
guitarist Carlton Mounsher, drummer Chris Ellul (The Heavy) and the 3way
tenor/baritone sax attack of Stuart Dace, Chuchi Malapersona and Tom
Hodges
Born out of necessity, born with a tail (and horns) and simply born to boogie,
The Jim Jones All Stars are an unholy trinity of birth.
“The whole COVID/Brexit problem just made it impossible to continue with The
Righteous Mind,” says Jim Jones, “but with various live offers and opportunities
still coming in I had to come up with something, or else just go insane.
“Necessity, being the mother of invention, surprised us all when she delivered a
healthy, heavyweight, blue-eyed amalgam of incendiary ramalama soul.

Helicon have become a mythical force in the UK underground since they formed back in 2009 - releasing eight EPs and share the stage with everyone from the likes of Wooden Shjips, The Warlocks, Dead Skeletons and The Holydrug Couple. 

Picking up an ever-growing reputation along the way the band are now finally set to release their long-overdue self-titled debut LP on Fuzz Club – produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai’s Castle Of Doom Studio.

Exploring themes of love and loss, drugs and drink, religion and politics, and life and death, Helicon’s new album is a collection of sprawling and expansive Eastern-sounding psych-rock. 

Rock’n’roll has always transcended geographical limits and with this in mind the band explain how the new record aims to explore all of psychedelia’s hazy, deeply-rooted ley-lines across the globe - from the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland (see The Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai etc.) to the sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India and the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco.

Collocutor is a ground-breaking modal jazz ensemble formed and led by saxophonist/composer Tamar Osborn (aka Tamar Collocutor). Drawing on wide-ranging influences from electric-era Miles Davis to minimalism via Indian classical music and the Ethiopique sound, Collocutor’s approach reflects the meaning of their name: ‘a person taking part in a conversation’.
Over the course of three albums and an EP, the unique sound of the quintet (formerly septet) has matured into something exploratory, deep and compelling.
Collocutor are:
Tamar Osborn – baritone sax, flute
Mike Lesirge/Josephine Davies – tenor & soprano sax
Suman Joshi – bass
Marco Piccioni – guitar
Maurizio Ravalico – percussion
“Really good collective…Ethiopique, little bit spiritual jazz and banging” - Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music
“I like Collocutor a lot. They have the feeling!” - Mulatu Astatke
“one of the most dynamic jazz groups to emerge out of London” - TJ Gorton (Beat Caffeine)
“a staggeringly authentic vintage brass arrangement in the style of Gil Evans…the kind of playing and arranging chops it’s impossible to fake” - Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music
“Pure grace, class and spirit in every note.” - Jeremy Sole, KCRW Los Angeles
“Collocutor know how to blow you away on their whole new vibe, and you won’t want to come back …” - Max Reinhardt, Late Junction BBC Radio 3

UK South coasters, relocating from West to East: Katja Rackin and Sam Stacpoole have been grafting and honing alone, away from the expertise of music producers and other governors since 2016. The result is unadulterated and unclean, unabashed and uncom- promised. Through their love of artists such as The Kinks, Alex Chilton and The Nerves or any other artist who spends less time with the polishing cloth and more time with the power shower, Holiday Ghosts make music with a lean and primitive rock n roll spirit. Drums are stripped naked to the point of metronome status and no stomp boxes, nor cahons or didgeridoos are found to obscure the energy of guitars at their rawest.
In stories of landlords, steady jobs, wrong turns, short straws, sunny moods and city life, Kat and Sam share lead vocals alongside returning band-mate and song writer, Charlie Murphy, and a host of other musicians from Falmouth, Cornwall where the band began. Two albums in with Punk Slime Records and a casually bandcamped EP, Holiday Ghosts released their 3rd full length - North Street Air on FatCat Records in May 2021. See them at The Piper!

Muncie Girls guitarist Dean McMullen tours his new solo album + support from CK Smith

Dean McMullen is, on one level, a new singer-songwriter who’s soon to release his debut album, ‘Part One’ on Fierce Panda Records. By the sounds of things he won’t be charging into the release like an enraged bull in an especially fragile china shop, as the album gently resonates with a childlike sweetness wrapped in lush musical sentiments, lurking somewhere between Elliot Smith and Mercury Rev.

On a second level, the name Dean McMullen might not resonate instantly with the gig-going masses, but the man has deftly clocked up enough motorway miles to flabbergast the average AA man. Raised on a steady diet of punk rock in Exeter – local heroes The Computers were a special teenage kicking delight – and now based in the Netherlands, his is a tale of incessant gigging as guitarist in oft-loved Muncie Girls interspersed with the odd stint on the slightly more salubrious tour bus circuit as tech for the likes of Tim Burgess, Baxter Dury and SYML.

To say that the exuberant appeal of The Bug Club’s live performances and songmanship has been spread by word of mouth is a bit of a contradiction, as you could never sum up the music produced by these three groovy peas in a far-out pod (musically and lyrically interesting, deliciously individual, stripped-back garage pop songs, which shimmy, bounce and slide from joyfully frenetic guitar riffs to melodious harmonies) in anything like one word.

This Mercury Music Prize-nominated artist has been equally well received in major publications including Classic Rock, Mojo and Kerrang who gave stellar ratings in their uniformly positive reviews. Cunningham also featured in a number of ‘Best of the Year’ polls. In Europe, popular German music magazine Eclipse voted her debut 2019 solo album the year’s ninth best release, however, back home in the UK, Prog listed it as 2019’s third best album. Further accolades from Prog came when the magazine named Cunningham the “eighth greatest female musician of all time”.
