About us

This show is supported by Arts Council England.

Ask My Bull: An instrumental foursome from Manchester. Flamboyant Jazz-Punk.

A musical chimera that combines the visceral energy of punk, the danceability of drum'n'bass and the intriguing nuance of jazz: Ask My Bull is delightfully hyperactive and cinematically epic.

Samantics: A one man machine of honesty, energy, words and noise.

Using lyrics to portray his own unique vision of the world we're all wandering, he speaks and shrieks from the centre of his erratic heart. Using a trolley full of sounds, including ukulele, bass, beats, piano, harmonies, blips and bloops and more, all brought together with loop station and sampler to create a hot pot of powerful, noisy poetry. It's not quite hip-hop, but it's not quite not.
