Seas Of Mirth
* * * * * * * * * *
East Mids based party starters Seas Of Mirth are a high-energy genre-swerving festival band with an immersive deep-sea twist. Fronted by the two founding guitarists Al Judders and C Ball Paul, their daringly inventive new album 'Kriller' covers everything from wonky disco funk to psychey prog-folk to worldly dance beats. On stage, the visual element is full on with UV lights, flamboyant costumes and LED sea creatures on stage and in the crowd... it's one big sensory experience, with a generous spoonful of humour. Having performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Bearded Theory, Boomtown, Lindisfarne and Solfest in the last few years, the band are ready to play their first actual Nottingham headline show since Kriller's release. This is an opportunity that anyone with an adventurous pair of ears simply must take the plunge on...

Ushti Baba
* * * * * * * * *
Raging folk fusing hypnotic pan-European melodies with modern dance rhythms. Heavy beatbox, wild fiddle, an energetic thrill-filled musical journey from familiar lands to the beyond and back. Ushti Baba deliver a fierce fresh perspective while paying warm tribute to their trad folk roots.
The Bristol-based 7-piece has been tearing up venues and festivals at home and abroad since 2013, with countless prominent slots across the UK and Europe. Now on the BBC 6 Music playlist the world is their lobster!
Make some space - you might need it as you flail around!”
