Spectacular event to celebrate 10 years of Gypskazz and their long anticipated 3rd album. This will be a magical , festival like event with belly dancers, flamenco dancers and lots of music. On sale will be Gypskazz merchandise, CDs and T-shirts. ACTS Gypskazz Flores Del Mar Farasha Hoopsea Hoopers On Yellow and Blue Gypskazz The anticipated release of their third album, Zig-Zag, all originals, Gypskazz have matured their blend of gypsy jazz, ska, Balkan, Arabic and other influences into a genre-crossing style that's truly their own. The sophistication of jazz and cabaret, the danceable grooves of gypsy jazz and ska, touches of punk attitude and mayhem make them an act that's hard to categorise, but instantly recognisable. Regular appearances at Kent's major festivals and recent sell-out shows in their home town at the Canterbury Festival and Cathedral Lodge have cemented their reputation as a band that guarantees a good time and will have everybody up dancing before the show is over. With a line-up of vocals, sax, accordion, guitar, ukulele, bass and drums, there's plenty of harmonic richness, virtuosic improvisation and rhythmic heft. Bill Redfern's snarling vocals and skanking uke, Melzebra's ingenue vocals and blazing sax, the flying fingers of Michelle on accordion and the enchanting sounds of Dave Reay on guitar, the pumping engine room of Martin Virgo on bass and driving force of Catherine "CJ" Jones on drums, give a Gypskazz gig the feeling that the carnival has come to town and you're going to be swept up and carried away! As well as originals, the band showcase their distinctive, sly take on the classics, Beethoven's Fur Elise in multiple time signatures, Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto, renamed "Skaranjuez", Saint-Saens' The Fish in the song "Aquarium" and Henry Mancini's The Pink Panther. Interpretations of world traditional folk also feature, the Russian Dark Eyes, Greek Miserlou, Italian Bella Ciao and a riotous Hungarian Mol Czardas. The subject matter too, takes in quite a range, from the dark humour of Let's Rob a Bank, Soho Devils - about a boy who's trying to resist temptation among the fleshpots - and Zig-Zag, about a stormy relationship (or could it be about the band? Ha-ha!) to the more reflective Last Cigarette and Takiwatanga (a Maori expression describing autism meaning "in their own space-time"). The anthemic There Must Be Time For One More Drink, pretty much expresses the band's philosophy and has the audience singing along, as well as inspiring chants of "One more song" at the end of the night. https://gypskazz.bandcamp.com/ @Facebook/Gypskazz @instagram/Gypskazz @YouTube/Gypskazz Spotify, , Amazon Music and other digital music platforms Flores Del Mar Joining the lineup are local favourites Flores Del Mar, a dynamic Flamenco dance group based right here in Whitstable.

First formed in 2012, the band have released five albums and are finalising their sixth. The Brackish sound is characterised by its use of dynamics, long-form composition and improvisation. Face melting heavyness gives way to gentle, spacious soundscapes within a single composition. Kraut-like grooves, polyrhythms, violent melodic statements and psychedelic, freeform improvisation are present in equal measure. Always expressed with a strong emphasis on melody and narrative, aiming to take the listener on journeys of much needed escapism. https://www.instagram.com/thebrackishmusic https://www.youtube.com/user/funsizeanimation https://www.facebook.com/TheBrackish https://open.spotify.com/artist/1kj3lvFhOPe5AqLu2BhDw2 Black Aleph (Australia) Exploring deconstructed post-metal and cinematic doom, Black Aleph merges Middle Eastern modal traditions with layered live loops, ritualistic beats, and doom-metal variations. The album, featuring guitar, cello, and Iranian daf drum, has drawn comparisons to Justin Broadrick, Neurosis, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor for its tectonic, almost spiritual soundscapes. Produced by Tim Carr (We Lost The Sea) and mastered by Mell Dettmer (Earth, Sunn O))), with artwork by Darren Tanny Tan and Salah Alkhal, Apsides highlights the powerful interplay between light and dark, and the cosmic themes of orbital mechanics. https://blackaleph.bandcamp.com https://facebook.com/blackaleph https://www.instagram.com/black.aleph Josh Magill (Canterbury) Ex Syd Arthur drummer and TCOM regular comes with a powerful solo set.
