The spring will back right back in you step with the sunshine vibes from They Say Jump gracing our stage with a beautiful party atmosphere!

Boasting band members that have performed with Stormzy, Bastille, Paloma Faith, Kwabs, Gentleman’s Dub Club, The Dualers and Hollie Cook, They Say Jump are an unstoppable force united by a love of Reggae and Ska music.

In March 2017, 2018 and 2019 TSJ were asked to support Bob Marley’s original band ‘The Wailers’ on their UK tour performing to thousands nationwide.

They Say Jump’s most recent releases have been played by David Rodigan on BBC 1Xtra, John Kennedy of XFM and on BBC Radio Wales.

Since establishing 10 years ago TSJ have toured extensively building a strong live following escalated by high profile festival performances at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Secret Garden Party, Green Man and Wilderness.

Labelled as ‘Ones to watch’ by Harper’s Bazaar magazine after a main stage performance at Secret Garden Party, They Say Jump have an ace up their sleeve. Frontman Adrian Benn is an uncontrollable explosion of hilarity, drawing audiences into a cyclone of amusement. He turns a subdued room into a free-for-all by the end of the first 3 and a half minutes.

Do not be surprised to see band members performing wireless in the crowd, audience members stripping and a hypnotised army of loyal followers jumping in unison. They Say Jump are summer personified, an unrivalled live show.

DJ Joy Alarm and DJ Applecore have spent a decade each moving crowds on festival dancefloors, all the while soaking up the sounds of a thousand cultures like a pair of musical sponges. Mango Django is the juice you get when you wring those sponges out; a sweet, tropical global-house syrup, followed by a tangy rush of speed garage, and finished off with a sharp kick of drum n bass. The perfect cocktail for both a sun-soaked afternoon, and also an all-nighter out-out, raving hard til the lights come up again. Best served on the rocks and always with a smile.

incredibly energetic, original music to make you literally dance your socks off!
Led by Elle’s powerful vocals and Lucy’s vibrant folk fiddle, the band are releasing 3
brand new songs that are among their strongest to date and have been going down a
storm at their extravagantly colourful, theatrical live performances. The band treat the
audience as co-conspirators and every show is about collectively having the best time
possible, with MTATM contributing incredible amounts of energy, dancing wildly and
most importantly having amazing fun doing it!
With well over 100 UK festival appearances including Glastonbury, Boomtown,
WOMAD, Beautiful Days, Secret Garden Party, Belladrum, Nozstock, Northside
(Denmark) and Goulash (Croatia) to name just a few, Mr Tea and the Minions always
play (in the words of The Independent) “a bouncing set – it’s impossible not to get
involved.”

Spinning into the early hours is DJ Sacha Dieu, celebrated for genre-defying sets that leap through the best genres in party music!

World Music Method Presents Sekura Makamanzi @ The Magic GardenFree Entry
2026-04-20 19:30 - 23:30
Free Entry!
Music rooted in the traditional beats of Zimbabwe, Sekura Makamanzi will take you on a journey of sounds and vibrations

Gabriel “Sekuru Africa” Makamanzi is not just a musician — he is a spiritual messenger, a keeper of ancestral sound, and a bridge between worlds. His music is rooted in the sacred teachings of the Mbira Dzavadzimu, the instrument of the spirits, which has guided the Shona people in prayer, healing, and unity for generations.
Born in the mountainous lands of Chimanimani, Zimbabwe, Sekuru Africa grew up surrounded by the rhythms of nature — the whisper of wind through trees, the pulse of drums in village gatherings, and the songs of elders calling to the ancestors. From these beginnings, his musical journey became a lifelong spiritual path: a mission to connect humanity to the soul of Africa through sound.
For Sekuru Africa, music is prayer. Every performance, every workshop, every sound of the mbira carries a message — of peace, remembrance, and the living spirit of Africa. His life’s purpose is to remind the world that traditional music is not just art — it is medicine.

Sam Redmore, J-Felix (DJ set) & Essa @ The Magic GardenGet tickets here!!!
2026-05-01 21:00 - 2026-05-02 02:00
Get your tickets here!!!
Two of the finest DJ’s well known for getting any party started with the best tune selections and the incredible Essa on the mic

We are very lucky to have two wonderfully skilled DJ’s gracing the deck at The Magic Garden! Sam Redmore and J-Feliex will be laying down the best beats with all things funky, disco, tropical, housey, groovy and so much more! Performing on the night will also be Essa, known to be one of the most intellectually gifted lyricists London has to offer.

A hugely respected DJ in his hometown of Birmingham and long-standing resident at seminal club nights including Leftfoot and Magic Door, Sam Redmore has built a formidable reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting and versatile selectors and producers.
He truly broke onto the UK music scene in 2022 with the release of his debut album “Universal Vibrations” – a vibrant, wide-ranging collection of global grooves and eclectic dancefloor heaters capable of igniting any party. Redmore built on that momentum in October 2025 with the release of his second album “Modulate” – a dancefloor-focused record that blends electronic and programmed elements with rich live instrumentation. The album features collaborations with internationally esteemed artists including Dele Sosimi and Abdominal, as well as the track “Pride,” originally commissioned as the theme music for Joe Lycett’s stand-up show.
Beyond radio, Sam has cultivated a huge and highly engaged online following, regularly sharing selections and insights that showcase both his DJ skills and his deep-rooted love and knowledge of music – spanning funk, disco, house and broken beat through to afrobeat, cumbia, salsa and samba. These wide-ranging influences are central to Sam’s identity as both producer and DJ. Whether delivering an all-night-long journey that transcends genres or a tightly focused set packed with the choicest disco, house and broken beat cuts, Redmore has the taste, technical skill and musical intuition to move any dancefloor.

Bristol-born and Brighton-based, J-Felix is a producer, musician and DJ whose music sits at the crossroads of Modern Funk, Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop with touches of Electronic production. His debut album 101 Reasons (Tru Thoughts) introduced his forward-thinking sound, followed by the acclaimed The Runaway EP and sophomore LP Whole Again Hooligan, along with a series of singles and remixes. These releases earned him support slots for legends such as George Clinton, Roy Ayers, and Soul II Soul.
Continuing to push things forward J-Felix launched his own imprint with THE MiNT EXPERiMENT Vol. 1 & 2 and the follow-up single, Love Come Down, both receiving critical praise, national radio support from BBC 1Xtra, Radio 1, and BBC 6 Music, and placements on high-profile DSP playlists. A seasoned live performer, J-Felix has toured the UK with his band The Extended Family, selling out shows and bringing his vibrant fusion of groove and improvisation to stages across the UK. As a DJ, he’s appeared internationally at festivals including Glastonbury, We Out Here, Love Supreme, Soundwave, and Nova Batida.
Widely supported by tastemakers such as Jamz Supernova, Gilles Peterson, Julie Adenuga, Huey Morgan, and FIP Radio, J-Felix continues to build a growing legacy as both a producer and musician. His studio playing spans on music from a diverse roster of artists including Ibibio Sound Machine, Harleighblu, Mahalia, Swindle, Kojey Radical, and Róisín Murphy, while his remix credits include Hot 8 Brass Band, Werkha, Lakuta, and Amp Fiddler. On his own records, he’s worked with artists like Byron The Aquarius, Andrew Ashong, El Train and BODUR, extending his musical world through soulful collaborations and genre-blending creativity. As a guitarist, J-Felix has also toured extensively with Alice Russell and joined Swindle on the No More Normal tour.

Few artists bridge worlds like Essa. With a poet’s soul and a lawyer’s precision, he crafts emotive hip-hop that resonates far beyond the surface. Raised in a leafy suburb, educated at a prestigious boarding school and qualified in commercial law, his path into hip-hop was anything but typical. Yet as Yungun, he became a defining voice of the UK scene’s golden era — delivering party anthems, cryptic love songs, bilingual wordplay and introspective escapism that earned praise from Nas and Mark Ronson.
His debut The Essance placed him at the vanguard of the scene, alongside contemporaries Sway, Klashnekoff and Jehst, before Grown Man Business — a souldrenched collaboration with DJ Mr. Thing — took him touring across Europe, China, Russia and Australia. Along the way, he recorded with Guru and Inspectah Deck, and shared stages with De La Soul, Slum Village and Pharoahe Monch.
All this whilst building a high-flying legal career. But as his professional profile rose, his musical output slowed — until his return as Essa with The Misadventures of a Middle Man, a bold, reflective exploration of race, class, identity and masculinity. Re-energised, he followed with Resonance, a deeply soulful collaboration with elite producer Pitch 92, delivering his most assured and accomplished work to date — proof that time has only sharpened his pen.

Get your tickets here!!!
Right on the edge of control and chaos, lively and incredibly charismatic, ladies and gentlemen: 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)

Drawing on their experience of over eight years of extensive touring, with shows at Bestival (UK), the London Olympics, Boomtown (UK), Colours of Ostrava (CZ), Tønder Festival (DK), to name but a few, and mainstream airplay in both the UK and Denmark, The Great Malarkey continue to delight audiences across the UK and Europe with their explosive, “balls to the wall”, high energy live shows. In February 2019, “Gimme Sugar” from “Doghouse” was chosen by Tom Robinson as BBC 6 Music recommends track of the week, getting played by daytime DJs Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Mary-Anne Hobbs.

The Great Malarkey do not disappoint. They bring their whole heart to every song, every show, every album and anyone who wants to listen. No need to just take their word for it though, here’s what some other people think:
​
“‘Duck n Dive’ may be one of the most surprisingly brilliant songs to come across my desk in months.” A&R FACTORY (Single Review)
​”A must-see live experience” – TOM ROBINSON, BBC 6 Music
“I challenge you to keep still” – PURE RAWK (Live Review)
​“Like drinking some kind of potent cocktail or punch, this is music that packs a similar kick” – TASTY FANZINE (Live Review)
“This album bears listening to time and again” – MUSIC NEWS (Doghouse Review)
​”A wild, multi-gendered gang of rebels brimming with deviant energy and fun” – TOM ROBINSON, BBC 6 Music
​”They do sound like they’d be very good live, (like) they’d brew up something of a storm” – STEVE LAMACQ, BBC 6 MUSIC

The Magic Garden fans favourite DJ Captain Flatcap will keep the energy high with his eclectic mix of dancefloor fillers and festival flavours

2026-05-15 21:00 - 2026-05-16 02:00
Get your tickets here!!!
Mesmerising folk rock from The James Riley Band, multi-layered beats from Matthew One Man and a party on the decks with DJ Jamie Moon

London-born, half-American troubadour James Riley treads a fine line between timeless songcraft reminiscent of Sting, John Martyn and Joni Mitchell. His music exudes cinematic storytelling and soulful, modern vibrancy, all conveyed through a disarmingly candid folk voice. Renowned for mustering pin-drop silences in noisy rooms, or coaxing timid audiences into clamorous ovations, James has a distinct knack for building a sense of oneness in a crowd, taking audiences on a rapturous journey with understated yet unshakeable conviction.
After a 2-year writing and recording odyssey in Nashville, James returned to London to release his debut album “Transatlantica” in March 2020. When an entire summer of touring was wiped off the calendar due to COVID-19 lockdown, he garnered national media attention by hosting full-band rooftop concerts live-streamed from his house in Tottenham, North London. The concerts also led to the creation of a critically-acclaimed folk-grime fusion project ‘Rooftop Assembly’.
Recently resuming his musical journey on more conventional stages, James has spent the past couple years playing to audiences at Glastonbury, The Great Escape, and Wilderness and Towersey Festival with his trio, James Patrick Gavin on fiddle, and Tim Fairhall on upright bass.
James spent the early part of 2024 on a writing retreat in Florida, ahead of the release of his sophomore album – slated for the spring of 2026.

Heralded as “mind-blowing” and “awe inspiring”, British artist Matthew One Man creates multi-layered soundscapes through the use of his beloved loop-station and acoustic guitar- that create the illusion of a full band. at the age of 7 Matthew began playing bass and guitar.
