Man Ray Sky organised and intended to headline this concert, but were unable to make it on the evening.
Lucky for them, they had chosen their support acts well. Each had something different to offer which made for an enjoyable evening of varied musical styles.
The first act, Aamouai, was a solo keys player and singer. He used synths and samplers next to his classical piano style for an interesting mix of the electro and euphonic melodies.
Grasshopper - so young that they were ushered out of the bar the moment their set ended - lacked experience and stage presence. However they made up for it with catchy songs and good use of tech, including a sampler and an Omnichord.
The final band, Le Juki, really stepped up and filled the headline slot. A Brighton-based trio, between them they covered keys, acoustic guitar, acoustic drums, keys and a violin. All the members made use percussive instruments, including a bird-call, and all sang vocal harmonies.
This strange mix gave the band a feel somewhere between folk and Native American tribal music. The end result was a vibrant band, at times unpredictable and sporadic, always fun.
Four stars
