Join seven-piece WE HATE THE SHARKMAN as they embark on a UK tour to defeat the Sharkman once and for all through the only way they know how - infectious, high energy, danceable jazz-fusion. Who is the Sharkman? Anyone or anything that you hate or are mildly inconvenienced by. How can you defeat him? With crazy energetic grooves.
Recently, We Hate The Sharkman were a runner up for Best Unsigned Band for Sheffield’s Exposed Awards 2025.
"Independent creative energy bound to make you move and delight your ears." - Frontier Magazine
"Unique sound and captivating stage presence that has had people hooked at venues round Sheffield." - La Rumba
"A light-textured freshness and innate inventiveness that would sound cool in any era." - Fresh on the Net
FLORAL PATTERN is an alt-jazz collective based between Derby and Nottingham, led by saxophonist and composer Myles Noble. Blending the raw energy of UK soundsystem culture with the innovation of the contemporary jazz scene, the band crafts euphoric, improvisation-heavy performances that are both psychedelic and rhythmically intense. Expect hard-hitting horn lines, driving Afrobeat-inspired drums, and bold experiments in live electronic processing.
THE BLAZERS create smooth and sexy music for the soul. A mutual love of 70’s soul, R&B, and gritty blues led to their own original songs which evoke the sounds that inspired them, whilst remaining fresh and exciting. From early days gigging on their university campus to now headlining across the north of England, the band continues to draw growing crowds at venues throughout the region.
