This is a no-brainer night of local faves inc Noods gem Radio Limbo, jazzbient oddball collective Improv’s Greatest Hits, plus folk, queer morris + more, with all profits to Kino’s fundraiser. 20 more years!!!"

IMPROV’s GREATEST HITS
Improv’s Greatest Hits is a night and fluid collective using improvised music as a vehicle to mix musical and social scenes. Blurring subculture lines, debuting new artists + collaborations on the regular. Occasionally represented in group form, for this they’ll be:

Regina Collage ( Zalizo ) - bass
Otto Wild ( Ex Agent ) - keys
Llyr Cox ( foot foot / broadsheets ) - drums
Natalie Whiteland ( minor conflict ) - harp
Joe Lyon ( Big Fuss Ensemble ) - sax
Micheal Gianan - guitar
DOG MUGGED MORRIS
Dog Mugged Morris are an LGBTQ+ comedy Morris troop, inspired by the style of Border Morris and the classic archetype of fool. Don't lose your (chicken) head!
LATRINALIA
A balanced diet for the soul - pipe winds, voltaic blips and gut string resonance.
HANNAH ALLEN
Hannah Allen aka Hanwah is a vocalist, pianist and producer who has recently relocated back to the UK after a 10 year residency in Eswatini, Southern Africa. Her current sound is the result of her dedicated journey with musicians in the Southern African region. Expect a lyrically playful yet raw expression, and a psychedelic, jazzy, soulful sound.
RADIO LIMBO (LIVE)
Radio Limbo is the flagship show of Bristol based cassette label, Limbo Tapes, presented by host Pete Hazell (a.k.a Titus 12).
The Noods Radio show treads a misty path between beats, dub and ambient, with humour and a strong chat room community, and as a live presentation, Limbo Pete guides you through a selection of skits/sketches, and signature sounds tailored for the event.
PIP HILL
Pip Hill is a folk musician and student at Bristol uni, writing original songs for voice and Autoharp, inspired by Joan Baez and Bob Dylan
