(Free) Coffee Shop Gigs for Londoners as Abimaro & The Free Embark on Ginger Tea Tour

Following on from their sell out performance at The Albany in South London in March 2012, new musical trio Abimaro & The Free are set to draw a crowd to a series of planned FREE gigs across the hot spots of East London as part of their ‘Ginger Tea Tour’.

Funded by The Arts Council, the trio have handpicked 11 coffee shops to host the band’s official debut performance of their single ‘Ginger Tea’ amongst other songs as part of the group’s tour from 18 April – 6 May 2012.

Guests gain free entry and can also buy one of a number of limited Ginger Tea tickets. The lucky ticket holder gets a goodie bag of collector’s items such as an exclusive hand-made Ginger Tea single, Abimaro and The Free merchandise and a free beverage at a cost of £10 each – available in online advance purchase only.

The trio have already enjoyed airplay on BBC London Radio and Jazz FM and are raising standards amongst the art space that fuses cultural issues and music. Taking inspiration from genres such as folk and soul with an urban twist, the unsigned act create an unmistakeable, genuine, artistic and gifted melody that capture imagination and spirit. With
all the right ingredients brewing, the stage is set for another sell out success.

On a sunny beautiful day in Shoreditch we headed down to a secret rooftop location ‘downtheditch’ to interview 3 piece electronic and soul band Belleruche.  We find out a bit of background about the band and how they started out selling a series of 7″ records on their own record label, Hippoflex Records before being signed by Brighton based label Tru Thoughts in 2007.   As the sun sets in the background, we are also treated to an exclusive roof top performance by the band , we hope you enjoy!

Electro swing fuses together the genres of swing, jazz, hip hop and house into an eclectic mishmash of sounds. Unsurprisingly this makes electro swing the perfect match for the vintage clothes wearing Shoreditch hipsters.

The sounds of electro swing are perfectly epitomised by the producer Jem Stone. To celebrate his pulsating electro swing beats we offer to you this FREE cheeky bootleg that has been causing major damage in his recent DJ sets. Sexy Muthaflapper is laced with Jem Stone’s current electro swing vibe which can be heard from his EP Jem Stone\’s Perpetual Lotion, out now on Freshly Squeezed.

November 14th sees the launch of the new single from Clement Marfo and The Frontline “Overtime” and to showcase their work they have laid down cracking visuals to their video for the Royal T Remix.   Set mostly around Shoreditch’s 24 hour beigel strip, this video is especially cracking as it features me in my JDilla t-shirt for literally a couple of seconds around the 1.52 mark.  You can send my royalty cheque in the post guys, thanks!
