Some call it Punk Folk, some say it's like having the Arcade Fire in your bedroom, we say we are ten friends playing music that swings wildly from the epic to the intimate, the melancholic to the euphoric. We bring you songs of night and the city, the lost and found on the underground, and the club card redeemers seeking salvation in supermarkets.

Joe Driscoll’s band of troubadours return to the Finsbury for a Bank Holiday extravaganza. Expect the usual collection of underground musical talent incorporating elements of hip hop, drum n’bass, classical, folk, dubstep, rock and beat box with individual sets from the artists that make up the collective (plus the odd collaboration).
Part 2 will be the showpiece – an improvised jam session involving some of the country’s finest underground musicians. Watch this space for news on special guests.
You will not get to see this show again, all Local Posse nights are improvised, one off shows – do not miss this! Doors open at 8pm, arrive early, as we may not be able to fit everyone in (if the last few shows are anything to go by).

SAT 21 – LIVE: JOE DRISCOLL & SEKOU KOUYATE + (DJ) MR TIBBS
9-2
FREE ENTRY
In the port city of Marseilles, home to many a nomadic soul, Joe Driscoll first met Sekou Kouyate. The two were paired up to collaborate at the French festival ‘Nuit Metis’ (Nights of Mixed Race), and though they shared no common spoken language, they encountered no obstacles communicating through their music. After a few weeks of improvising and jamming, they had found a spiritual and musical bond of kindred spirits.
After just a week of jamming together, these two musicians from opposite ends of the earth knew that they had found a special type of musical brotherhood. The resulting album is a mad fusion of afrobeat, hip-hop, folk, and reggae, that defies any simple tags or description.
