What a bloody amazing crowd we had on Saturday! @TheJazzCafe was another level. Opening for the legend that is Kanda Bongo Man was epic. We are still buzzing. Thanks to everyone who made it such a brilliant night. Our next stop is Well Seasoned, Peckham Levels on April 2nd 🔥🔥

@TheJazzCafe Please could you let me know the name of the support band at the Kanda Bongo Man show on Sat 26th Feb? They were superb but didn't catch their name. Thanks!

Last min heads up, if any Londoners are about this Friday 10th December, we are playing The Post Bar, Tottenham. Last show for the year, come hear some of the freshest new tunes like this one from our sold out last show last month in Bristol 😁 youtu.be/LoMSoDS0JIs
More fire! Can. Not. Wait. To share the new music with the universe. Probably the best we have written so far. Got a super special guest too who will blow your mind but that is too much fire for one post so 🤐🤐🤐
Today I met up with the amazing @MuleleMatondo & @birikitea which involved hearing new tracks by @KongoDiaNtoti & #Matondology. Breathtaking doesn’t even capture the quality of writing & musicianship I think a certain @freshnet & @imaxreinhardt are going to love the new albums.

My absolute pleasure. It was a privilege to have an early copy and the performances on it underline why @KongoDiaNtoti are one of the most exciting live bands in the country (or the world). 😊
