Seafoam Green will play a headline show at Phase One in Liverpool on Thursday 7th July.
“Seafoam Green are Irish songwriting duo Dave O’Grady and Muireann McDermott Long. The pair specialise in what we now call Americana. If you want blues, gospel, and folk, they’ve got it, but what they’ve actually perfected across two albums and countless live shows is the sound of a glorious rock n’ soul revival.
Seafoam Green even find room for a dash of Dublinese, just to remind people where they’re coming from. Heavy hitters like Rich Robinson, Derek Trucks, and Tyler Greenwell have all chipped in, and it’s not hard to hear why, for this is thrilling, vital, and – that word again – soulful music.” – Pat Carty, HotPress Magazine

Los de Abajo started as friends, university students living the day-to-day hard reality experienced by the Mexican people, before they began searching for the perfect musical tool to spread information and denounce injustice.
Los de Abajo, having taken their name from Mexican writer Mariano Azuela’s novel of the same name, forged their identity on a revolutionary spirit, playing at students’ and workers’ rallies, with artists, Zapatista soldiers, gay and women’s rights movements, and many other groups of free-thinkers from outside the mainstream.
Immersed in Mexico with a long history of poverty, suffocated by the oligarchy, plunder, and corruption, the group’s combative and energy-filled fusion of music has been influenced by the global nature of our times. Using their music, made up of salsa, merengue, cumbia, punk, rap, reggae, rock, and Mexican traditions such as son Jarocho, Northern music, and banda sinaloense, Los de Abajo began to spread information and ideas.
Over the years, Los de Abajo have had people dancing in more than 30 countries, set foot in four continents, and have played many times across many festivals to huge regard and sparkling reviews, including Glastonbury, Paleo Festival, and WOMAD.

Rooted in jazz and blues, yet written in a classical style, this will be Will’s third appearance with the Orchestra.
To start, Gershwin’s lavish Cuban Overture. Originally titled ‘Rumba’, the infectious rhythms and full percussion section are sure to get the toes tapping. And what American-themed concert can be complete without a performance of Dvořák’s most famous composition?

Combining global music, reggae, fusion and punk influences, Jah Wobble has entranced the world with his hypnotic bass riffs for over four decades.
He has become one of Britain’s most influential and distinct bass players. Accompanied by his band, Invaders of the Heart, Jah Wobble is reborn into a new decade as defiant as ever.
Born John Wardle, the nickname was given to him by Sid Vicious following an evening of drunken antics. As a bassist, Jah Wobble is well known as one of the founding members and ultimately the back bone of the legendary Public Image Limited during the early years.
Whilst working with John Lyndon, Keith Levene and Jim Walker, Jah’s notoriously powerful low end bass created their debut album Public Image: First Issue, which included the band’s first top 10 single, as well as their prestigious second album Metal Box, which included the post-punk classic ‘Death Disco’.
Since departing from Public Image Limited, Jah Wobble is now a prevalent solo artist with his band, Invaders of the Heart, and was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize for his debut album, Rising Above Bedlam.
