Kamaal Williams

When: Saturday 25th March 2023

Where: Canvas in Manchester

Rising to prominence alongside pioneering jazz drummer Yussef Davies, Kamaal Williams is a modern-day UK Jazz heavyweight, whose mesmeric live shows encapsulate everything Jazz should be. Under the moniker, Henry Wu has crafted many a piano-centric number, but with his history as a drummer, the piano takes on a different form at his shows, with an expertly crafted percussive edge that is heavily inspired by classic Boom Bap Hip-Hop. 

Basically, his live shows are one of a kind and will leave every crowd on the tour in a state of musical bliss. This is not one to miss for jazz fans and is one of the best introductions anyone trying to get into the genre could get. So secure the tickets so as to not be disappointed, this one's going to be mega.

Fun Lovin' Criminals

When: Thursday 4th May 2023

Where: MK11 in Milton Keynes

Right, who stole all the Scooby Snacks? As we're hungry for some Fun Lovin Criminals and our appetites need satiating. Since settling down in the UK, the American group have had a multi-platinum debut album ‘Come Find Yourself’ that spent two years in the UK album chart. Plus, the band performed an infamously raucous set on the famous Pyramid main stage at Glastonbury ’99 and the rest - as they say - is history.

The New York City natives will be trying to recapture the magic of this set, as they bring their infectious blend of cinematic hip-hop, rock ‘n’ roll, blues-jazz, and Latin soul burst to a very lucky crowd in Milton Keynes this May, and we can't wait to get grooving to their tunes alongside you.
