Reach Up regular supremo Nick Halkes is joined this time by All About Islands for another funk-fuelled, legendary Reach Up Disco Wonderland

Nick Halkes (aka Nick Reach Up) drops 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!

She landed in Bermuda where she teamed up with Felix , playing clubs, boats, the Bermuda Pride parade and drag brunches.

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

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. Matthew’s original sound could be described as experimental soundscape music including original composed pieces such as Omega, Cantonese Love, Electric Eyes Everywhere and Another Word for Light. Through his exploration of musical territories Matthew has expanded his sound and developed a unique take on dance music composing original pieces such as Trowel, Orange and Blue and renditions of My Heart Will Go On and 9pm Til I Come. Matthew has performed at festivals all over the UK and in 2023 will also be performing at Glastonbury, Kendall Calling and Secret Garden Party, as well as venturing into Europe to perform in a number of countries. Strap yourself in for a journey like no other

London-based DJ Jamie Renton mixes up a unique dancefloor-filling musical blend: from roots reggae to Balkan beats, salsa to ska, funk to soca, Afrobeat to the blues. Travelling to all kinds of places and spaces whilst keeping people moving with the good global groove. His sets are always buzzing with energy, guaranteed to shake yer groove thang!

They have toured with iconic Romani brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia as well as opening for other legends including Seattle punks Kultur Shock at the 100 Club.

shunTA! is comprised of London-based musicians who found each other in the bars and open-air jams of London’s Balkan and klezmer music scene. They present their personal take on Romani songs as living proof that this music transcends boundaries and touches something universally deep. Passionate about the music of Eastern Europe – and often travelling to immerse themselves in it – shunTA! released their debut album At The Kafana in 2024, featuring original takes on songs from the ferocious ‘Ibrahim’ to the mournful ‘Mugur Mugurel’ (“bud, little bud”).

shunTA! means “Hey listen up!”, and the band presents a live energy to match. The mini-orchestra includes a horn section, string section, piano, drums and darbouka. The band have taken the festival circuit by storm (Boomtown, Wilderness, Camp Bestival, Shindig, Balter, Secret Garden Party, Rhythm Tree and Brighton Fringe). Their album launch sold out Jamboree (London) and they recently played the 18th birthday weekender for Balkanarama (Glasgow and Edinburgh), the UK’s longest-running Balkan night. They have opened for iconic 12-piece Romani band Fanfare Ciocarlia, Seattle-based punk Balkan band Kultur Shock, Electro-Balkan DJ Shantel, and eclectic global collective The Turbans.

A virtual carnival of sound that’s high on energy and deep on soul. An incredible band led by an incredible voice

For more than a decade Tankus have offered a visceral, transcendental rock ‘n’ roll experience. The hardest-working band in town, they’ve played roughly 1400 shows, criss- crossing the continent in the process.

Led by the redoubtable Jaz Delorean, with João Mello on sax and vocals, Dan Hipkin on bass, Jack Price on guitar, Jay Shaw on drums, the band have scored numerous highs, building an astonishingly loyal fanbase in the process. They’re a deeply theatrical endeavour, akin to shows by Tom Waits or the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, but with a modern twist, reminiscent of the raw power of The Fat White Family or Cage The Elephant, inviting people into a counter cultural realm for one-night-only. With a work-rate that far out-strips their peers, the band have created a community that could rival that of the Grateful Dead, building their audience show by show.
“There’s no computers,” Jaz says. “It’s a group of musicians playing because those songs are inside them, and they’ve got to get them out. It’s not some sanitised space.” After a decade of non-stop travel, new album Valley of Distraction is a moment of pause, their most focussed and intentional record yet, it’s a sign that the storms of the pandemic could never sink their ambitions. The album was produced alongside Jim Sclavunos, known for his seminal work with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. An astonishing feat of storytelling, it’s a record that thrives on community.

Mango Django
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.
