Seven's 19th Birthday Bash

Join us at Seven for our 19th Birthday Bash from 4pm. We have two great bands lined up. COLOUR OF LIGHT 4 – 5.30pm Colour of Light are a guitar, mandolin, banjo, double bass and harmonica ensemble who blend folk, blues, bluegrass and classical influences into their own unique sound. Their finely crafted original songs delivered by three diverse singer-songwriters combine protest, reflection and celebration. As individuals these musicians have performed at Glastonbury and Latitude Festivals, have been played on BBC 6 Music, and BBC Radio 4 and have over 450,000 Spotify plays. Coming together around the vibrant Leeds live music scene this exciting band is guaranteed to inspire and engage with their honest storytelling, joyful performance and first-class musicianship. BIG BAMBOO 6.15 – 8pm Big Bamboo plays old school hot dance music from the Caribbean islands and Brazil – Rumba, Choro, Mento, Beguine and Merengue – in an acoustic and improvised style reminiscent of New Orleans jazz. Richard Ormrod grew up with the rich, lyrical sound of early Caribbean music and has been playing in this style for thirty five years. Trombonist Will Osborne is passionate about early calypso and beguine and, together, they lead Big Bamboo on a tour through the first half of the 20th Century, across several seas, and through multiple musical traditions rooted in early jazz and hot dance. Music will be outside in Seven’s Courtyard, inside if wet.
