Event information

Jack Goodall

Having released three solo albums and in 2021, a collaboration with band The Kick, Goodall is back making new and frequently funky music with a new bunch of virtuoso musicians based in their home city of Birmingham.

Goodall studied and played with musicians such as bluesmen Ian Siegal and Aynsley Lister and afrobeat star Dele Sosimi, these experiences are now more than ever being channeled into Goodall’s own idiosyncratic music and performance style.

2025 will see the release of a new album provisionally entitled ‘Ort’ - the name of the now sadly defunct arts cafe in Balsall Heath, Birmingham where so many friendships and artistic ventures began. The album forges ahead with the kind of infectious afrobeat demonstrated in No Reply but also delves into a wide array of sounds influenced not only by the likes of Fela Kuti and Curtis Mayfield but Eurythmics and John Cale.
Goodall is looking to make a splash on the live scene with high energy shows that will get the crowd dancing.

Dust Cut

Dusty Cut is the Cardiff-based music project of award-winning writer Phil Jones. Together with Thomas Hollick, Simon Dowling, Evie Davies and Tim Swan, Dusty Cut craft songs about friendships and loves gained and lost, fights in restaurants, Scottish islands and the sea.

Dusty Cut have developed a warm sound that incorporates moody folk, 70s rock and a hint of strangeness inspired by eccentrics like Gruff Rhys, Arthur Russell and Big Thief.
