WSP's Match & Fuse UK January 2012 tour w/ RedivideR
Match & fuse is a touring exchange programme set up by WorldService Project to enable them to perform with other like-minded artists and groups across Europe and for those groups to come to the UK. The aim is that these groups will be able to learn from one another, share cultural backgrounds and to build up relations and fan bases across Europe for their music to reach wider audiences.
The third collaboration brings WSP together with ReDiviDeR from Ireland with support from Bristol's own RAE. This will be a truely eclectic, wonderous and musical mash-up for any dicerning music lover to emerse themselves in.

REDIVIDER ~ http://www.reverbnation.com/redivider
Irish two-horns-no-chords quartet, established by drummer Matt Jacobson in 2007 with the creative and rhythmic specialists Derek Whyte (bass) and Nick Roth (alto sax), and trombonist Colm O'Hara (trombone). The band play all original compositions from Jacobson ( "one of Ireland's most exciting young talents" Irish Times) with influences including artists such as Charles Mingus, Steve Coleman, Deerhoof, Phil Ivey and Carnatic music of Southern India. The formula for putting all this together in one palindromical setting is downtown grooves with catchy melodies and collective improvs.

Award winning* punk jazz innovators WorldService Project (WSP) have erupted across the UK promoting new material ahead of their second album in 2012.
WSP's intense live sound has taken 2011 by storm, with dates in Paris, London, Oslo, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham, Lyon, Bergen and Trondheim, as well as major jazz festivals in Brecon, St Germain de Calberte (SE France), Swanage, Marsden and a date at The Barbican Centre for the London Jazz Festival 2011.
In essence, imagine a four-way cage match between Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Stravinsky and Meshuggah.
The result is high-octane experimental but accessible music with a smile on its face.
RAE ~ http://www.raemusic.co.uk
Since forming they have/will perform with the likes of Billy Bragg, Syd Arthur, The Mandibles, Dahkla, Polar Bear, Zoo For You and many others. Each encounter adding to their miriad of influences, and resulting in and ever shifting'sound' that can only be described as'Rae'.
These influences can be found in all of their music; ranging from North Indian to jazz, from classical to funk, flamenco to hip hop and from folk to rock. This means the band's music can chop and change in mood, style and subject matter. They are truly genre-defying & awe-inspiring each time they perform.
