'Stand Up On The Strand' - Comedy Night // Quiz Night! // Garance & The Mitochondries // Milky WAY // 'Sunday Service' feat. Migden & Gibson


Good afternoon to you all. We bring weekly event news from the revolving doors of The Lighthouse!

Firstly, I wanted to bring your attention to a very special ticketed event that is on the horizon. A fantastic fusion of ancient and futuristic sounds, the band also happen to feature Robert Plant's drummer Dave Smith!

FOFOULAH
Thursday 26th May

Tickets ?10 in advance - available behind the bar, via Smugglers Records Shop and online HERE.
(tickets ?12 on the door - subject to availability)

"Really intelligent, infectious and effective ? It's subtle, beckoning with its toes in the ancestral mud, but this is modern music, intriguing, well-textured and very likeable." - fRoots

"A bravely adventurous new fusion band." ****
- The Guardian

"It's a steaming concoction featuring swinging guitar and sax riffs driven by Robert Plant's drummer Dave Smith, who also produces. Fofoulah don't sound like an African band, they sound like guys versed in contemporary rock and electronic mash-up with a taste for West African sabar and talking drums." - Evening Standard

Fofoulah (meaning "it's there" in Wolof) was formed in London in 2011 and features Senegalese vocalist, dancer and percussionist Batch Gueye, Tom Challenger (Red Snapper) on saxophone and keyboards, Phil Stevenson (Iness Mezel) on guitar, Johnny Brierley (Outhouse Ruhabi) on bass, drummer Dave Smith (Robert Plant, Juju, Ruhabi) and Kaw Secka (Ruhabi, Irok) on Sabar drums. With the rhythms of the Sabar drums - a traditional form of Wolof drumming from Gambia and Senegal - at its heart, Fofoulah's music has evolved into an inspired cosmopolitan m?lange that also incorporates elements of electronic music, dub, improvisation and afro-rock. Like the complex city they live in, Fofoulah's music is shaped and lifted by diverse sound-worlds and cultures.

Garance Louis is a songwriter and accordionist from rural Southern France. Her band "The Mitochondrie" are a rag tag ensemble of gifted rougues she acquired from the street corners of London. Together they make a very beautiful, quirky and rickety musical family coming from an old cabaret. They mix colourful dynamics and unexpected changes with traditional folkloric styles.

You could call it a kind of "dirty tango, rock n roll, post-musette, tramp jazz, progressive gypsy?" Or give up on generic descriptions and just experience the band and their music live on stage.
