GIG TWO
The launch of MUHA‘s amazing ‘Taras‘ music video will be hitting the screen at The Nottingham Contemporary this Friday. The animation tells a breath-taking, timeless story stemmed from cultural roots and is something not to be missed.
Taking inspiration from Eastern European culture, MUHA provide the perfect balance of fresh, culturally entwined rhythms with a powerful visual dimension, taking the audience on a musical journey. The songs are often sung in a variety of languages including Old Russian and modern Ukrainian but don’t let the language barrier put you off as MUHA are something rare and special! Each band member brings their own experience and expertise to the stage delivering a highly entertaining and visually interesting performance that will leave your mind blown. Ladies and gents, you are in for a treat.
To whet your appetite for the video, the band have released a little trailer which you can see HERE.

Kick-start your weekend by getting yourself down to see three awesome bands from local label Farmyard Records play at Jam Café this Friday!
MANIÉRE DES BOHÉMIENS
Two pairs of brothers passionate about making music started this band back in 2009. Three years later and they’ve blossomed into a vibrant, exciting and unique group with an infectious sound. They call it ‘Manouche Jazz and rough-edged Gypsy-Folk music’, we call it down-right amazing! MANIÉRE DES BOHÉMIENS are one of the best bands you will see live, so do yourself a favour and catch them for free at this event.
3 EYED FOX
Look out for this local up-and-coming trio! Their mix of folk, rock and punk are rapidly making this band a recognized force in the folk/festival circuit. They may have got their name from an animal freak show, but their music is nothing short of incredible. 3 EYED FOX
make for an engaging and fun gig – miss it and miss out!
