UDO Goodies available (first come first serve)
Georgie Ward works with piano and analogue synthesizers to create intense, rhythmic electronic music. Combining her background as a classical pianist and her experience performing with some of the world’s biggest pop stars – such as Dua Lipa – her style focuses on high-energy, instrumental synth-pop.
Memotone - Described by Boomkat (2023) as “One of the UK’s shapeshifting best” - Memotone is one alias of Will Yates, a composer and musician working at the fringes of the music industry. Leaning into jazz, contemporary classical, ambient and esoteric fourth-world music, Memotone’s live show is part pre-prepared/part improvised performance, using a mix of live instrumentation, two samplers, effects and loopers to build a window into his singular soundworld.
Simon Warner Trio- A brand new Bristol based trio playing neo-jazz taking inspiration from Robert Glasper, Richard Spaven & Alfa Mist.
Temper's Heavy- Introducing Temper’s Heavy, a Bristol-based Neo-Jazz fusion band poised to share their upcoming EP with the world. Drawing inspiration from a blend of influences including Yussef Dayes, Jordan Rakei, and James Blake, the band’s signature sound showcases their unique blend of soulful vocals atop a powerhouse of driving rhythms.
