After last year’s sellout success, we return to The Pitt, bringing the hottest sounds to this iconic venue down by the water’s edge. With a dancefloor-filling mix of funk, hip hop and more, we're showcasing three Scottish bands at the cutting edge.
A dynamic sextet, Harry Weir’s Blue Boar Brass are a contemporary jazz and hip hop outfit who play with huge drive and attack. Harry’s trenchant sax sits on top of a band weaving together a scorching mix of pulsating grooves.
Brimming with energy and drive, Mama Terra is the Scottish jazz and soul sensation led by pianist Marco Cafolla and Konrad Wiszenewski. With influences including John and Alice Coltrane, Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington, they blend soulful grooves, driving bebop and rich spiritual jazz influences.
Fresh from winning the 2025 Scottish Album Of The Year award, Kai Reesu is a band on the rise. Blending elements of jazz, hip hop, psychedelia and grime, the Glasgow band are inspired by hip hop beatmaking, and the greats of 70s jazz fusion and feature vocals from Scotland-based LA rapper Jurnalist.
