About this Event

Formerly of Nizlopi (yes 'the JCB song man') Luke Concannon is fresh from finishing his new album, inspired by his Hitchhiking mission to Palestine. This is Soul fired, Folk Hip-Hop from the Depths. Full of life, music, and stories, his gigs are exuberant and fierce! He loves to get people involved, so get ready to sing and dance. These gigs are passionate life or death struggles to ‘give everything' and to engage the people in an act of celebration and dissolution in to music, and also a struggle to play the right notes in time



With Nizlopi Luke experienced the heights of Top Of The Pops, playing Wembley Arena, Hyde Park to 20000 people, and selling close to one Million records, all from an independent family and friends run record label running out of one room in his parents house. And also of working the small venue circuit in England and Ireland for 7 years. The band parted ways in 2008, and since then he's been finding his way, and deepening in to what his music and work is now

Jimmy Davis



Making music for the world beyond heat magazine, Jimmy Davis speaks for a voiceless generation, who long for an end to the injustices and lack of care that blight the world.



The last couple of years have been a roller coaster ride for Jimmy Davis and his band The Barefoot Apostles. They have performed sets at Glastonbury, Croissant Neuf Summer Party & Barn on the Farm festivals, Oxjam and the Birmingham ArtsFest.



Jimmy also supported friend Ed Sheeran at both his Brixton Academy and Shepherd's Bush Empire gigs, as well as performing alongside Ed with chart hit You Need Me I Don't Need You on stage at Croissant Neuf.
