The Distillers are a London-based powerhouse of blues, soul, and rock, forged in the vibrant jam sessions of The Distillery Bankside in late 2024. What started as an impromptu collaboration quickly became an unstoppable force, earning the band a prestigious ️ residency at the Hilton Hotel, where their electrifying weekly performances captivate audiences.
At the heart of The Distillers is Malala —a mesmerizing vocalist whose raw, soulful delivery channels the spirit of legends like Etta James and Aretha Franklin. Her deep, emotive voice blends effortlessly with the expressive guitar work of Eugenio , whose playing fuses the smooth phrasing of John Mayer, the laid-back groove of JJ Cale, and the fiery energy of Stevie Ray Vaughan. From searing solos to intricate textures, his guitar tells a story in every note.
The band’s rock-solid rhythm section is held down by Francesco and Laurent —both alumni of the acclaimed blues outfit The Wang Dang Doodle. Their dynamic interplay delivers the tight swing of Chicago blues, the hypnotic pulse of classic soul, and the driving energy of rock & roll.
The Distillers’ sound is a rich fusion of styles—deep, driving blues rhythms, sultry soul melodies, and raw, high-energy rock. Their live shows are more than just performances; they’re a musical journey where every note drips with passion, authenticity, and groove.

21st March Edition featuring:
✨LANGAN BAND
For over 15 years now, the three members of The Langan Band have been carving outtheir own lawlessly virtuosic path of sound; rampaging through the boundaries of conventionalgenre and cavorting into the territories of wild abandon, purest intimacy, and unconditionalmusical elation.
The trio were initially brought together by a deep respect of traditional song and music,yet they discovered a mutual love of the evisceration and regeneration of these pieces intoprovocative and fascinating new compositions, as was recognised by the band winning theprestigiousDanny Kyle Awardat Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festival at the start of theirjourney together. This sound and process went on to inform the band’s now mostly originalrepertoire, and has resulted in a musical experience quite unlike any other.
Ayrshire-born John Langanis found centre-stage, seated on an explosive footpercussion rig of his own devising and fronting the trio with intricatefiery guitar rhythms and witheringly sweet and scathing vocals. To his right standsAlastair Caplin,a classically trained violinist equally discerning in both the London Prog-Folk/Jazz scenes he occupied for years andalso the blistering traditional reels and jigs of his native Outer Hebrides. Stage left is the domainof Angus-born Dave Tunstall and his double bass; from here emanates a seductive concoctionof eerily-bowed soundscapes, heart-stopping bass lines, and in conjunction with Caplin’sblurred bowing a truly monumental wall of orchestral noise.
FIRE IN THE MOUNTAIN SOUND SYSTEM

A wild, multi-gendered gang of rebels brimming with deviant energy and fun – Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

THE GREAT MALARKEY
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is The Great Malarkey.
Releasing their second album in early 2017 on Batov Records, ‘Doghouse’ delivers not only the continued raucous energy of their live shows, as showcased in their first album ‘Badly Stuffed Animals’, but the eventual bruising, vulnerability of the morning after the night before.
Influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, The Pogues, Beirut, Nick Cave, Fanfare Ciocarlia, The Dead Brothers and Toots and the Maytals (the latter of whom they supported with only their third gig), The Great Malarkey are riotous mix of musical styles and genres delivered in a “multicultural train of fast beats and trembling slams of punk-folk spirit” – rhythmpassport.com

Rambunctious and right on the edge of control… one of the freshest sounds I’ve picked up this year – Music-news.com

They do sound like they’d be very good live, (like) they’d brew up something of a storm – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

DJ SACHA DIEU
“Known across the UK for sets brimming with the best in Balkan Gypsy, Electro Swing and Global Beats, don’t let this DJ fool you into thinking this is all he’s got. Genre-bending and diverse, there’s no Edoubt you’ll be dancing”. (Womad)
Sacha mixes different styles and genres together during his sets (Anything from 30s Swing Jazz to the latest remixes, obscurities to well known Classics). Sacha adapts his set for each new occasion.
That said, Sacha is reputed for being one of the pioneers and specialists of Balkan Gypsy, Electro Swing and Global Beats djing in the UK

Classic disco, classic house and beyond. Good times!

DJ Andy Smith (Portishead) and Nick Halkes (aka Nick Reach Up) drop 80s disco, boogie and proto house, evoking the spirit of legendary NYC clubs such as Paradise Garage and Studio 54. They’ll dip into the rich soundtrack that emerged as the 70s turned into the 80s forming the DNA of today’s club music and mesh the set with the freshest productions, remixes and re-edits that they have sourced or can find!
As schooldays best friends Andy and Nick ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12 inch vinyl in their childhood home town of Portishead near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that Andy would supply beats and tour the world with Portishead before one of the top 100 djs in the world nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva labels becoming one of the UK mst respected dance and electronic music industry executives.
