Poggy's Vegan Kitchen // Fofoulah // Glasshouse // Ben Russell & The Charmers // 'Sunday Service' feat. Joe Jones & The Musketeers


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

Now as part of this week's events, we have a very special ticketed one coming to The Lighthouse stage this very Thursday! Please do read on ..,

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 mélange 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.
