Thierry Titi Robin

TITI ROBIN plays mediterranean music of his own.... Gypsy, Mediterranean and Balkan cultures are always clearly present in Titi Robin's music. Both on his records and on stage, Gypsies and Payos, the French and Spanish, Indians, Iranians and Arabs have agreed to dialogue and it is this reconstructed tribe, a genuine arborescence of musicians met over time, that we find around Titi Robin. He plays essentially his own compositions with an important part of improvisation.

Palinka

Lively and moving french songs, music from the Balkans and gypsy jazz... As soon as you hear them playing the first notes, Palinka takes you on a trip... Since it was created in 2003, the quartet gave more than 400 shows in pubs, concert halls and festivals in Paris and all over France. In August 2004, Palinka went on a tour in the Balkans where they discovered...."Palinka", a local plumb liquor, which gave the band more than its name: their liveliness, and enthusiasm for musical encounters...

Honeykill

UK alt rock band based in Camden. In 2006 armed with a fist full of songs, one hundred pounds sterling and an unshakeable sense of self belief, Jimi had travelled from Poole on the south coast, to the Towers and the Smoke that is London, a city he hoped capable of meeting his own ambitions. Finding residence in Highgate, under the shadow of Karl Marx, Jimi threw together some trusted pieces of recording kit and set to work on the masterplan. The first accomplice, discovered whilst schmoozing the back bar of the Dublin Castle was the evocative Tish.
