Hosting and supporting people seeking asylum in Bristol

We are delighted to be joined by greats in Bristol's music scene. Expect an eclectic evening featuring Bristol’s a cappella, comedy-infused singing group Kettle of Fish, followed by jazz-funk, neo-soul and math-rock grooves from Deems Experiment.

There’ll also be a raffle with great prizes, tasty samosas, and a bar serving alcoholic and soft drinks.

​

All proceeds will go towards ABC and BHN's vital work.

About the musicians​

​

Kettle of Fish (https://www.kettle-of-fish.net/) is an acapella band in demand all over the South West of England, delighting audiences large and small, young and old, with their unique blend of comedy and musical genius. Expect laughs, gasps of amazement and maybe the odd quizzical raising of the eyebrow, when KoF take to the stage with their eclectic mix of the weird and wonderful.

Deems Experiment (https://www.instagram.com/deems.experiment/) is a group of Bristol-based composers and instrumentalists whose style blends elements of jazz, classical music, hip hop, and math rock. For this night, the crowd will be graced with a duo composed of lead keyboardist Aondoyima ‘Deems’ Ioratim-Uba and bassist and drummer Munashe 'Kaps' Kapswarah (https://www.instagram.com/kaps.drumz/) from Grace Mack & The Pack, to take us through a journey of soulful melodies and smooth, mesmerising sounds.
