Jarmouse - 11th May 2024 Harry Baker - 20th May 2024
JARMOUSE
May 11th, doors 7.30pm Young Thugs Studio South Bank Social Club, Ovington Terrace, York, Yo23 1DJ Tickets £10, available here. Nobody turned away due to lack of funds, email if you'd like to attend but finances are a barrier.
Jarmouse, aka Bram Jarman, is a noisy voyage into discofiction and griefbeats. Able to flip between loud, proud and gobby to the delicate and deep, the Jarmouse experience is not one to be missed. Fusing loops, beats and music with powerful spoken word, imagine Sleaford Mods if they were from Easingwold. Plus support from performance poet Minal Sukumar and DOBERWOMAN.
Please note Young Thugs Studio performance space is up a flight of stairs.
HARRY BAKER - wonderful
May 20th doors 7.30pm The Crescent Community Venue Tickets £12 advance, £15 on the door, available here.
