Nottingham based Seas Of Mirth are a high-energy genre-swerving festival band with an interactive deep-sea twist.

Having performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, Bearded Theory, Boomtown, Lindisfarne and Solfest in the last few years, the band are passionate about playing to audiences of all kinds up and down the country.

Meandering musical tales for grounding in troubling times. Their latest album 'Emergence Vol​.​1' was released DIY last year.

These songs have been birthed from grief, loss, love, joyous exploration, and a search for meaning, traversing the murky depths of life and the psyche to understand what it's all about.'

to 26 Nov

Sentient Rash Label Launch Party - LICENSE TO THRILL

STUDIO 18 & SENTIENT RASH welcome you to…….

★ SENTIENT RASH LAUNCH PARTY - LICENSE TO THRILL★
We have pulled together some of the best underground artists, musicians & freaks for a one-off extravaganza in the loving heart of the 5 valleys. A multimedia celebration of the extraordinary underground talents of our network of weirdos.

SENTIENT RASH is an underground art cult. This party marks the official launch of the label which aims to bring together a community of singular artists & musicians, from all backgrounds and walks of life. The label has already begun to oversee events, new releases & the promotion of multimedia artists. Our new website aims to provide like-minded bohemians a new place they can call home, somewhere to promote their new work & each others work simultaneously. In our age of increasingly digital artistic focus, Sentient Rash will act as a conduit to give the best underground artists and musicians the opportunity to reach the public face to face through these multimedia shows, as well as the opportunity to reach more people in the digital interverse.
This is just the beginning. But its not to be missed.

FEATURING LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM:

★ BUFFO'S WAKE ★
Buffo’s Wake will take to the stage, forcing you to waltz, tango, mosh and kolo your way through a vast array of influences from Eastern European, Balkan and Russian folk, to punk rock and cabaret, whilst they tell their tall tales of debauchery, deformity, zombies, and obscure anatomy.
In their time together, they have toured all over the world, finding an inspired, confused, sweaty, and often very drunk reception everywhere they go.
Klezmer Carnival Punks – with influences from Abba to Zappa, Buffo’s Wake are guaranteed to leave you dancing like a man possessed!
https://buffoswake.bandcamp.com

★ MR TEA AND THE MINIONS★
Raucous Ska Folk blended with full-fat Balkan beats and a squeeze of tangy Dub! Mr Tea and the Minions are party-starting festival favourites
“The Minions seamlessly weave Balkan Beats with ska, dub and swing to create a bouncing set. It’s impossible not to get involved.” - The Independent
“Mr Tea and the Minions played one of the best performances we have ever seen! Expect great things from these guys.” - Swingamajig Festival
