SONNY SIMMONS TRIO
Sonny Simmons is one of the key figures to come out of the 1960s free jazz scene and his CV locates him at all the major epicentres, with recording sessions alongside John Coltrane’s rhythm section, Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison, as well as players like Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Anthony Braxton, Frank Lowe, Sunny Murray, Don Cherry and Prince Lasha. More significantly, in 1966 he led his own group through two absolutely flattening LPs for the legendary ESP-Disk label, then home to Albert Ayler, Frank Wright, Patty Waters and Sun Ra. Since the 60s he has fallen off the map several times, but since being briefly picked up by the Reprise label in the early-90s he has been considerably more visible, especially with his new group The Cosmosamatics.

Z'EV
Conceptual artist, dancer, musician, scholar and poet, Z'EV (Stefan Weisser) began playing the drums at age 4. Moving to New York City from San Francisco in 1979, and adopting the name Z'EV, his work with performance/noise percussion broke new ground and drew the attention of rock symphonist Glenn Branca, dancer Simone Forti, guitarist Rudolph Grey and just about everybody related to the downtown scene.

AUFGEHOBEN
Possibly only fifth gig ever for this mysterious ground breaking bunch we are well chuffed to be witnessing let alone putting on.

THE OTHER ORCHESTRA
A wicked new distillation made up from an ecclectic cross section of the renowned Sheffield improv scene inc. Charlie Collins (ClockDVA) and Mick Beck (sax meister extraordinaire).

KREEPA
"High levels of intuitive organisation run alongside the urge for discovery, as can be heard from the striking spontaneous arrangement on Kreepa of Walter Fabeck's piano and computer, Hilary Jeffery's tromboscillator, John Richards's kreepaback instrument and Cesar Villavicencio's e-recorder." Wire, June 2004. Battling for integrity and volume with Sheffield's free-percussion duo Sub-Merged.

BLACK CARROT
"Fucking great...you are inspired musicians, I like Black Carrot!" - Jean-Hervé Péron - Faust
