Radio Revolucion
Radio Revolucion play Latin Reggae-Ska Punk with strong influences from London underground sounds like Jazz, Drum’n’Bass and Dub. They mix their music with fiery lyrics in the name of conciousness, rebellion and party in the true spirit of their idols Joe Strummer and Manu Chao.
Originally created in 2004 by Jurgi, Ruth and Julian gigs in Berlin and at the Carnaval Del Pueblo in London followed. Last year drummer Christina and Trumpet player Rowan Porteous joined the band and they have since played in the Refugee on Films festival and alongside DJ Manu Chao himself at a recent secret party hosted by cultural organisation Movimientos.
Oddjob
Oddjob was born in 2005 through a love of funk. Mixing the grooves of the late 60s/70s, Afrobeat and Latin/Caribbean carnival rhythms (and a hint of flamenco), ODDJOB's world-funk brew is designed to wipe out the worries of modern life and make you dance! So polish your dancing shoes and get ready....
“Oddjob brought their unique brand of Afro-Latin flavoured jazz to the stage and within minutes had the huge crowd eating out of their hands. By the time the sax led outfit reached the end of their performance the crowd were crying out for more!!"

Widescreen
Widescreen are a 3-piece electronic/flamenco global beat act. Originated by the 70's Prog/Classical Guitarist David Clark Allen of Carmen fame. Their music is a fascinating mix of Classical Spanish Flamenco, Mediterranean and eastern European groove and electronic beats. At times it seems quiet purist and then it will magically shift into the outer-worldly yet always flowing always remaining exciting and uplifting. Since their beginnings last year they have already supported Ojos De Brujo, Eliades Ochoa and Buena Vista Social Club!! Expect something special from this fast rising group.
Latin Dub Sound System
The Latin Dub Sound System is about big bass lines, carnival rhythms, and that moment when the music just makes you want to lose control. It’s a genre defying live sound that incorporates Latin percussion, house-driven melodies, dub beats, uplifting vocals, flamenco guitars, Mambo horns and hip hop.
Nottinghill Arts Club
Predating by over 9 years the current bar/club revolution, the nottinghillartsclub is a specialist pioneering music and arts venue.
