May Day Bank Holiday Weekend Thursday 28th, Smash It Up, Lewes' newest and only regular punk night. Showcasing the best local bands influenced by the ethos of punk culture. Tonight, its Mules, Gulls, and Wedding Band. Friday 29th, The Curst Sons, one of the best, if most unlikely, acts to come out of Brighton – hands down – they play bluegrass, gospel, and rockabilly as if their lives and loves depended on it, mixing Americana classics with tuneful originals full of superior lyrics. Time Out. FREE ENTRY and all welcome Saturday 30th, Jazzie B of Soul 2 Soul with a DJ Set. Jazzie B's aesthetic remains fully global. When he performs, he is an envoy of style as well as of sound. Sunday 1st, Transglobal Underground Sound System with Banco De Gaia. TransGlobal Underground is a U.K.-based collective fusing as many different kinds of world music as its members can get their hands on. Monday 2nd, The Legendary Skatalites Without ska, there is no reggae. Without The Skatalites, there is no ska. It's hard to overstate the importance of The Skatalites for the development of Jamaican music. |
