Jah Wobble
A world-exclusive DJ set from Public Image Limited’s bass player. Jah will be playing music that influenced his amazing career and some of his favourite dub, ambient and soul tracks.
Plus live music from two excellent bands….
ASK MY BULL
A musical chimera that combines the visceral energy of punk, the danceability of drum’n’bass and the intriguing nuance of jazz: Ask My Bull is delightfully hyperactive and cinematically epic. Fluorescent and flirtatious or blunt and vulgar; they crackle with an infectious energy that always sends a current through the crowd.
An instrumental whirlwind from Manchester; they usually rock it as a 3-piece with experimental textures and heavy grooves from Molly on Alto sax, Tom on Bass and Harry on Drums. The extended 5-piece lineup has Elliot join up front on tenor sax, and guest features on guitar or bass.
For people who like…
jazz, prog, post-punk | drum’n’bass, dubstep, jungle | punk, math rock, prog rock | video game music, film music | flamboyant jazz punk, party prog | gypsy, ska
“Hard core jazz with flare. Lively, upbeat, banging beats; these tracks are to dance to. When I listen to Ask my Bull it’s slightly other worldly, or like some fever fuelled hallucination to some other realm in fast forward, all in the best way! Danceable, ferocious and unwavering in its energy, very impactful and very addictive.”
– Janet Harding, RGM
“Manchesters own sonic Chinashop spectacle ‘Ask My Bull’ turn energy dial to eleven” – Liverpool Noise
“The raw energy that they summon on stage is infectious and it imbues the amassed crowd with a feral community spirit which they use to dance themselves giddy paying tribute to the music gods in sweat. It is impossible to resist the other-worldy tug that is conjured by this frenetic and frantic music, once you give in and surge with the tidal force of it on the shore of the stage it is an experience like no other.” – whatculture.com
“Ask My Bull is a band with hypnotic and tightly wound momentum … These Manchester masters have a unique quality to their song construction.” – Pat Clavel, Spread
“Ask My Bull are pumping a truly unique sound into Manchester and beyond. A DIY cocktail of jazz, math rock, gypsy, ska and breakbeat there is no doubt they’ll be turning heads and bending many minds in the near future.” – Alex Cardwell, SBCLTR
