Market Club is a new kind of free event for the leading East London Arts Centre that will brighten up your Sundays.
The finest festival team in the world are kicking off the New Year moving their Wednesday night sessions to monthly Sunday celebrations of art, music, film, markets and Olympic sports. Live music comes from rising indie-folk star Sam Sallon plus reggae/dub outfit Scubaroots with DJ sets from Fabric’s Ali B, Jamie A, Kid Blue and Young Offenders.
Sundays in Shoreditch are alive from Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Columbia Rd markets – get indoors with the Market Club’s mini market selling everything from books to music to a sample sale from Fenchurch.
Market Club will have Olympic sport tasters each month kicking off with table tennis in February. There will be a demonstration and training by professionals then a chance for everyone to join in. Ping Pong veterans, the Young Offenders Institute, will be there to help get things going using their unique round robin game. Fencing and indoor rowing are planned for March and April dates.
Scrubaroots
One of Bristol's hottest club secrets. At its core, the group is a nine piece live funk, ska, drum and bass act that on occasion swells to include gospel choirs, record geek DJs, Latin percussion outfits and a ton of other party-kinds up for a party. The band forged on the South West college circuit and now has an ardent following here in Bristol, and wherever they have gigged around the country. Pumping out quality new material at a alarming rate, the band have already put out one EP, launched from it, put on too many gigs to mention and have a second album in the works (out 2009).
Expect high energy, disciplined and soulful music that nods to the best kinds breakbeat, funk, reggae and roots influences you can imagine.
Taste beyond their years this is killer stuff.
Sam Sallon
Sam Sallon’s debut album, One For The Road, is set for release in 2011. One For The Road features guest performances from some of Sam’s favourite artists including Kami Thompson and Neil Cowley. The album was lovingly produced by David Watson at Metropolis Studios and mixed by Jim Lowe.
Sam has paid his dues and earned his live reputation on tour with the likes of Pete Doherty, Nouvelle Vague, Dot Allison, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Lyle.
