On Saturday 17 May we welcome to our unique shop window stage…
SASHA ILYUKEVICH AND THE HIGHLY SKILLED MIGRANTS
London-based Belarusian troubadour Sasha Ilyukevich and his British band ‘The Highly Skilled Migrants’ create an incomparable brew of post punk electric energy and folk lyricism.
This is one of those rare bands, which transcends their inspirations to create powerful and original music of its own, ‘Belarusian Rock ’n’ Roll’. Ilyukevich sings in Russian, his lyrics play on images from Eastern Slavic Folklore and Russian Literature, the characters of his songs, brimming with satirical and provocative mischief.
His vocals swoop from soft whispered melodies to raucous screams, defying language barriers to deliver songs that are uplifting, intelligent, macabre, romantic and melancholic.

THE HUNTING ERA (formerly knows as the Geffin Brothers)
The Geffin Brothers are songwriters out of London. Raised in a small town somewhere between Salisbury Plain and the Jurassic Coast, as young’uns they made early noises with a toy drum-kit and half-size electric guitar. In December 2012 the brothers released their debut EP on Roman Road Records, produced by Walter Benjamin and Jakob Bazora.
Together or apart they have performed at End Of The Road, Larmer Tree, Channel 4, Bush Hall, The Gladstone, Standon Calling and Royal Albert Hall, and played with Barnaby Keen Band, Henry’s Phonograph, The White Russian, Amiina and many more.
Plus a DJ set from Ola’s Kool Kitchen
The Kitchen will provide you with all you the sounds you need to get your knees up between bands. Prepare for hot fever to move your feet to a swinging beat. Steamy and very sweet for that Friday night shindig feeling!
