The pair were deeply immersed in Hip Hop culture and heavily into digging around in dusty record bins looking for funky samples. As well as jazz and soul records\, they had a particular taste in old movie soundtracks\, which would become a particular characteristic of their production sound. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey soon followed up with their first LP\, ‘Remedies’ Establishing themselves as one of the main features of the Ninja Tune crew\, as they expanded their roster of eclectic artists and DJs. The following year\, as they were recording their second full length release\, ‘Blow Your Headphones’\, they extended their output to include an 8 piece live band and debuted June 1996 at George IV in Brixton. The Herbaliser Band continued on\, touring internationally\, to great reception\, from diverse audiences and would become regulars at a multitude of electronic\, dance\, dub and jazz festivals\, worldwide\, for the next 2 decades or so. \n\n\n\nFinally\, in 2020\, the relationship of the production duo that this all began with\, came to a conclusion. In 2021 Jake Wherry solely declared The Herbaliser finished with a very simple statement across the internet that read “The Herbaliser played their last official show in 2021. Thanks for your support over the years.” \n\n\n\nNow\, in 2024\, after something of a hiatus\, The Herbaliser Band have reformed with original members Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn)\, Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone sax- flute)\, (Micah Moody (drums)\, Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax)Oliver Parfitt (keyboards)\, Conor Cotterill (bass) & of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/the-herbaliser-band/ LOCATION:Band On The Wall\, 27 Swan St\, Manchester\, M4 5JZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241117T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241117T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T231404 CREATED:20240707T131904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240720T110837Z UID:33139-1731870000-1731870000@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Kneecap DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/kneecap-new-century/ LOCATION:New Century Hall\, 34 Hanover St\, Manchester\, M4 4AH CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS,Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/kneecap.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241120T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241120T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T231404 CREATED:20240721T193150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T193152Z UID:33539-1732129200-1732129200@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Say She She / Albert Hall DESCRIPTION:Boost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/say-she-she-albert-hall/ LOCATION:Albert Hall\, 27 Peter St\, Manchester\, M2 5QR CATEGORIES:SOUL GIGS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/saysheshe-manchester.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241123T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241123T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T231404 CREATED:20240721T184801Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240721T184804Z UID:33521-1732388400-1732388400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Kofi Stone / Gorilla DESCRIPTION:Inspired by his Grandad’s poetry\, Kofi has had an advanced taste from as early as he can remember\, freestyling and writing whenever he had the chance. A musical diet of Lupe Fiasco\, Common\, Kano and Sway further sparked his fascination with Hip-hop which later led his father to introduce him to an engineer who organised Kofi’s very first studio session. 2017 saw the release of his debut single ‘Stories In Pyjamas’\, soon followed by ‘Nothin’ Ain’t Free’\, which quickly positioned him as one of the most exciting emerging artists that year. With a growing fanbase\, multiple sold-out headline shows and relationships built in all the right places\, his debut project Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does was proof that Kofi had arrived. The record was independently released via his label Tru Community and featured BRIT-nominated musician Loyle Carner and Irish songwriter\, Maverick Sabre. Kofi has since toured with Loyle Carner\, graced the stage at festivals across the world\, and joined forces with the likes of Jacob Banks\, Mr Jukes & Barney Artist and Tiana Major9. After a brief hiatus\, Kofi is back with new releases ‘May Sound Crazy ft. Benjamin Zephaniah’\, ‘Black Joy’\, and his most recent single ‘You’ll Be Okay’. With a new album on the horizon we can expect a triumphant 2024 for Kofi Stone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/kofi-stone-gorilla/ LOCATION:Gorilla\, 54-56 Whitworth St W\, Manchester\, M1 5WW CATEGORIES:HIP HOP GIGS END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241123T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241123T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T231404 CREATED:20241021T221703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241021T221704Z UID:33925-1732388400-1732388400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Akemi Fox DESCRIPTION:Akemi Fox is one of the north’s most soothing alternative R&B artists.
