The Ronnie Jones Quartet are a Devon based jazz band who have played at some of the biggest UK jazz festivals including London's Ealing Jazz Festival, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and, most recently, the Marlborough Jazz Festival. We perform at a myriad of local jazz venues throughout Devon, Somerset and Dorset.

The quartet has established a reputation for making quite a challenging genre of music accessible to a wider audience through clever arrangements and imaginative programming. Gary Bayley (saxophone) is a veteran of the jazz scene and a featured soloist in the Mike Westbrook group; Joss Kidd (guitar) was taught by Phil Robson (2009 Best Jazz Musician of the year) and is an alumni of the Middlesex jazz degree course. He is known for his sensitive weaving of distinctive melodic lines and sensitive accompaniment; David George (bass) for many years has been the choice of bandleaders where he has been featured in duo through to big-band formats. Ronnie himself was taught by Tubby Hayes' drummer Bill Eyden and is an in-demand jazz drummer on the West Country scene with a reputation for sensitive playing.

Aristocrats are an independent 4-piece hip hop collective based in Bristol that have recently begun experimenting with a more new age sound. The group is made up of MCs Stash and Stil Bizzy, and producers JMaxfield and dubL $w£ggrz. 

Formed in 2012, Aristocrats have supported a number of well-known artists in the scene and are regularly invited to play at British festivals during the summer months with continued support from Sika Studios. Their debut LP 'L.I.K.R.' dropped in March 2017, and has been well received, prompting a range of positive reviews:

“An impressive set of 14 tracks all coming with an ill sound, a mix of trap to boom bap combined with a fresh set of ill ass verbals…”
“Get to know, we've been bumpin' this one hard…”

The L.I.K.R. LP, reviewed by Loose Lips:

“Aristocrats are breathing new life into the Bristol hip-hop scene with their debut LP L.I.K.R (Life In Konstant Ripples)…”
“This symbiosis between smoky production and refined lyricism is highlighted in the title track of the LP, L.I.K.R…”
“A testament to the group’s diversity in sound, a trap-influenced stride dubs the LP in Bristolian cement…”

A concoction of theatrical stage presence and contagious, pensive lyricism, Twitchee is a one-man tour-de-force at the helm of an exciting PA show which explores experimental and alternative rap, grime and 140 beats. His wealth of experience on stage and in the studio has given life to a carefully tailored sound which marries his own take on the conventional aspects of these genres with abstract and original concepts rarely covered in the wider UK scene.
