Tonight’s performance at The Drum promises a full-on party vibe, with pulsating bass lines, original riddims and earth shattering beats as Sly and Robbie take to the stage alongside their band and special guests.

Acoustic Brew present Luke Jackson + Dan & Rob + Alex Harmon + Oxygen Thief
Luke Jackson: (from his myspace)
I am a young singer song writer and guitarist from Canterbury, Kent. Learned to play the guitar about 4 years ago, started singing soon after and have been writing my own songs since. I love to play live and started first doing open mic nights about 2 years ago. I still do open mics, but have now also been doing lots of proper gigs in all sorts of different venues. At first this was all local, but now play regularly in london and at acoustic venues around the country, so far in Hull and more lined up in norwich,Bury, Portsmouth and birmingham. Last year, and this, I played Lounge on the Farm and other festivals in Dover and Ashford, Festival in the park and Create and full gigs during Broadstairs folk week, where i am playing again this year. Also played at Maverick@Zebra bar in maidstone and hope to be back there soon. New gigs are being added all the time for the next few months so keep an eye on my upcoming shows for latest details. Also getting more interest in my songwriting and 'Rain' was chosen as one of the top 10 songs of the year on the itsafrogslife acoustic podcast show. All the songs on the space are my own compositions and are recorded and mixed by Jim Laslett. Record loads of songs and have made 2 sort of cd's but they don't sound like my voice now!!! We realised that it is best to do 3 to 6 track ep's as these can be done more quickly and represent my current sound, voice and playing better.
Oxygen Thief: (from the myspace)
Oxygen Thief is Barry Dolan - Bristol resident, guitar abuser, and unrepentant rock addict.
Faced with the possibility of a total drought following the gradual demise of my previous band, I decided to branch out into solo acoustic warfare.
Why does the term "acoustic" always bring up the image of some moping "singer-songwriter", gently fingerpicking his way through yet another heartwrenching 3 minutes of emotional torment (in nut crunchingly delicate falsetto of course)?
Why does it always get relegated to background music for folky chats in dimly lit bars?
Why can't it be fun, exciting, and most of all...LOUD?
Why not indeed - together we can bring down the Blunts, Nutinis, and Morrissons (James, not Jim...or the supermarket for that matter...though I do prefer Asda)
2007 was pretty ace, with a few tours around the UK, a show in New York, and gigs supporting Frank Turner, Dave House, and Frank Turner (again), along with some very kind reviews (see below) and a whole bunch of new friends made.
2008 has been "the year of the gig" - 30 down (including supports with Malcolm Middleton, Manchester Orchestra, Chris T-T, and appearances at 2000 Trees and Dot To Dot festivals), and another 20 to go by the end of the year.
Venue: Atticus, Three Shires Oak Road, Bearwood
