Man, aren’t these weeks just flying by? We have yet another awesome week for the Nottingham music scene, this time we have another headline Bodega<\/a><\/strong> show, a Hip-Hop charity fundraiser and a headline show from one of Notts’ finest Folk artists.<\/p>\n

GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

JOSH WHEATLEY<\/a><\/strong> and his band will be headlining The Bodega<\/strong> this Friday, with an ace support lineup and an awesome party going off afterwards too.<\/p>\n

Probably known as the biggest \u201chug-whore\u201d in Nottingham, JOSH WHEATLEY<\/a><\/strong> is a very hard-working musician. His sweet Folk sounds (plus a fair few hugs) found him a place in the FSN<\/a><\/strong> final this year, and with the addition of his newly formed band, we saw an entirely new side to his sound. With huge singalongs and catchy melodies a plenty, we guarantee you\u2019ll be leaving the venue singing (or shouting) \u201cfollow the schmooke, follow the smoke.\u201d Although, we advise for the purpose of your own health that you don\u2019t follow the smoke. That\u2019s a bad idea.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a killer support lineup too. Kicking everything off we\u2019ll have the soft chilled out sounds of TOM ASH<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s a bit of a cheesy line, but Tom has such a lovely tone to his voice, that it really does warm you up inside. An incredible songwriter too, Tom will hook you in with his stories, and if that\u2019s not enough for ya, chances are you\u2019ll be singing along to a few of his \u201cwoah-oh\u201ds too.<\/p>\n

FRANKIE RUDOLF<\/a><\/strong> will follow with some more Folky goodness. An FSN<\/a><\/strong> finalist back in 2013, Frankie wowed an entire Rock City<\/a><\/strong> crowd back then, and we\u2019re pretty sure he\u2019ll do exactly the same here. With inspiring stories and sweet little melodies, we’re sure he’ll have the crowd in the palm of his hand!<\/p>\n

FIELD STUDIES<\/a><\/strong> are last to support before Josh comes to the stage, and we reckon they\u2019ve been put here on purpose. You see, FIELD STUDIES<\/a><\/strong> pretty much always stun their crowds into silence, so we reckon Josh put them here so that he\u2019d have a silent crowd to come out to\u2026 cheeky Josh! Anyways, if you\u2019re unfamiliar with FIELD STUDIES<\/a><\/strong>, they\u2019re quite hard to define, but the genre they probably best fit is Post-Rock; but, in a genre that can all sound a bit too similar, vocalist Chris\u2019 voice sets them apart. Delicate, but powerful enough to leave you in awe. Prepare to be stunned.<\/p>\n

Pssst, it\u2019s also the Summer Musician\u2019s Soiree downstairs, which is basically a massive party for everyone involved in the Nottingham music scene; so make sure to pop down for a bit after the gig and have a little party with us all!<\/p>\n

GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Bloc<\/a><\/strong> are back at The Maze<\/a><\/strong> this Friday, with loads of great Hip-Hop acts coming together to raise money and awareness for the injustice going off in Gaza.<\/p>\n

GARTON<\/a><\/strong> will kick things off with his fierce grime stylings. You might\u2019ve seen him on his SBTV exclusive, but if not, here\u2019s the lowdown. He brings a bit of old-fashioned Hip-Hop wordplay, you know, lines that make you think and laugh at the same time – but mixes it with his fierce Grime style delivery. <\/p>\n

ELJAY<\/a><\/strong> and KRIPTIK<\/a><\/strong> will then be taking to the stage. The duo deliver an intense double-take wordplay that sees them bounce off each other unlike anything we\u2019ve seen round Notts. With hints of Reggae, Grime and Hip-Hop all rolled into one, their fusion of sounds is bound to draw you in. KRIPTIK\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> latest release \u201cFollow Dem<\/em>\u201d just dropped, and ELJAY\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> EP drops in the next few weeks, so they\u2019ve got plenty of new material to show ya.<\/p>\n

CAN-B<\/a><\/strong> & K-DEUCE<\/a><\/strong> are up next. At the top of NG64\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> roster, you\u2019ve probably seen or heard these guys around Notts at some point. Bringing good old fashioned Hip-Hop vibes everything about these guys screams professional, and we\u2019re sure their lyrics will provoke a thought or two.<\/p>\n

Rounding off the night we have 1ST BLOOD<\/a><\/strong>, one of the longest serving Hip-Hop crews in Hoodtown. Their latest release \u201cLive Like Legends<\/em>\u201d is an absolute banger, and fetures some HUGE tracks including some of the finest talent in Notts; well they\u2019ll be playing plenty of tunes off that, as well as some exclusives from their forthcoming projects. You do not want to miss this! <\/p>\n

Doors: 10PM
\nPrice: \u00a33<\/p>\n

GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n

GALLERY 47<\/a><\/strong> will be playing Nottingham Contemporary<\/a><\/strong> this Saturday, and it\u2019s looking to be quite a special show. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of mutually agreed in the Notts music scene that GALLERY 47<\/a><\/strong> really is something special. His delicate, soft Folk leaves people absolutely stunned the second that they hear it. His debut album \u201cFate Is The Law<\/em>\u201d came out a few years back to critical acclaim, and now he\u2019s ready to release his second album \u201cAll Will Be Well<\/em>\u201d, which is due out next month. If you\u2019ve got a bit of a gob on ya, we suggest staying away from this gig, as we\u2019re pretty sure the room will be left in silence for the entirety of the set. Hold back the man tears bro, hold \u2018em back.<\/p>\n

HEARTS<\/a><\/strong> will be opening the night with their 3-piece Pop-Folk goodness. And it\u2019s quite a special gig for them. Not just because they\u2019re supporting an incredible talent, but cos this will be their last gig as their original lineup. So make sure you get yersen down to hear their beautiful harmonies and melodies as they were intended to be heard! <\/p>\n

JAMIE MOON<\/a><\/strong> will also be supporting with his soothing Folk sounds. Sounding like a modern day concoction of many of his influences (such as Elliot Smith<\/strong>, Ben Howard<\/strong>, Bob Dylan<\/strong>), whilst still sounding incredibly unique; Jamie\u2019s fast but delicate guitar playing and soft vocals will set the tone just right for GALLERY 47<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Doors: 8PM
\nPrice: Free<\/p>\n
