Martyn Blair and Richard Belfitt have both taken on writing roles, the resulting heady cocktail is Oobleck. You can expect a fusion of funk, soul, gospel, rock, blues and more.

The full line-up consists of Ben Glover (drums), Gemma Bower (tenor and alto sax), Eloise Oates-Lidar (trumpet and flugel horn), Dom Scohy (keys), Martyn Blair (bass), Richard Belfitt (guitar and synth) and Jason Marshall on guitar.

Support comes from Chris Method who draws inspiration from classic 70s funk and disco tracks that have stood the test of time. His ‘modern vintage’ songs aim to be timeless and ‘harp back to that period when real musicians played real instruments to record music’.

The event is £5 on the door or there is a £8 special offer advanced ticket available which includes a copy of the EP. The gig starts at 9pm and last orders on the bar will be at 11.30 pm.
