A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Saturday 12th October. The event starts at 22:00.
The Fontanas
Delivering an upbeat live set that gets audiences bouncing around like carnival come early, The Fontanas are positive and totally feel good. Their sound consists of Brazilian Funk and jump up Latin Ska. The band is comprised of hand picked musicians who have played alongside the likes of Incognito and Alice Russell, specialists at whipping the crowd into a funky Latin frenzy.
The Fontanas have been trail blazing across the festival landscape in the last few years including Glastonbury, Bestival, The Secret Garden Party, Lovebox, Barbican Festival, London Live Victoria Park as well as venues such as Ronnie Scotts, Rich Mix and The Vaults.
