They’re joined by Manchester’s fountain of hip hop knowledge, Air Adam. Adam releases a podcast dedicated to the culture every month on the dot and drops the knowledge – check it out here.

Tickets available HERE.

All ticket holders are welcome to stay on for the Manchester Got Soul Club Night.

De La Soul rescheduled - July 20
2023-07-20 19:00 | Albert Hall, 27 Peter St, Manchester, M2 5QR
We were all shocked and saddened to hear the tragic news regarding the passing of founding De La Soul member, Trugoy the Dove last month.

Understandably, the planned show at Manchester Albert Hall on Wednesday the 12th April can no longer take place but the group are keen to continue with the live shows, as well as bringing some special guests to create a tribute for Dave and honour his legacy.

Our thoughts are with Dave’s family, friends, and fellow De La Soul fans at this time.

All tickets remain valid for the new, sold-out date, however refunds are available from the point of purchase should you require one.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

Jimetta Rose and the Voices Of Creation
2023-08-14 19:00 | Band On The Wall, 27 Swan St, Manchester, M4 5JZ, United Kingdom
Another Sons and Daughters of Lite cover follows as Jimetta leads the choir in the groove-drenched ode to self-affirmation Operation Feed Yourself.

Written as a series of mantras for everyday living, the Jimetta-penned composition How Good It Is harnesses the full transformative power of music to generate a stirring and joyful ode to positivity – it’s chanted declarations bringing out some of the group’s most deeply-felt and affecting vocal performances over some superlative piano and organ accompaniment with a surprise feature vocal from Novena Carmel.

Jimetta’s talent for re-imagining songs in her own light is highlighted in Answer The Call, her vivid re-telling of Funkadelic’s Cosmic Slop: “When I listened to the original song, the Mom in the story was really going through it. I thought of how I could turn this into a song that can encompass the glorification of all mothers and I thought of the Egyptian cosmic goddess Nut. To that mother we’re all the seeds planted in the garden. Answering the call in your life is literally that. Finding out exactly what you’re here for through your heart.” The album finishes with the standout original gospel number Ain’t Life Grand. Over swaying organs and clapped percussion Jimetta’s lyrical mantras serve to emphasise the good feelings that come to those with a grateful heart. Good feeling is an apt descriptor for the mood of the album as a whole. Its shining positivity provides a welcome ray of light in an increasingly dark world. “It’s a shortcut if you will to the better feelings” Jimetta says. “The hope that we need to keep pressing forward. We are saturated and inundated with images of chaos and destruction, death and hatred.

There’s so much we can witness. So, I want to make sure that there is a representation sonically of the other parts that are still there to witness so that we can continue to build those things. So that the systems we support actually reflect what we want to experience.

So it’s like: “Don’t give up and Let The Sunshine Into You” and then find out what your purpose is and answer the call.”

Masta Ace & Marco Polo / BOTW
2023-08-28 21:00 | Band On The Wall, 27 Swan St, Manchester, M4 5JZ, United Kingdom
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, US, Masta Ace, a.k.a Duval Clear, is an American rap artist, originally finding fame as part of the Juice Crew in 1988.

Alongside Craig G, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane, Marley Marl and Biz Markie, Masta Ace featured on their classic posse track, “The Symphony,” in 1988. Masta Ace then released his debut album two years later, titled “Take a Look Around,” on Motown’s hip hop label, Cold Chillin’ Records. This first album displayed Ace’s energetic rhymes, often dealing with sociopolitical issues in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The album featured the hit single, “Me and the Biz,” which included a popular video with its release.

In 1993, Ace returned, this time with his own crew, Masta Ace Incorporated, performing alongside Lord Digga and Paula Perry. Their album, “SlaughtaHouse,” synthesised a West Coast sound with an East Coast edge that made it stand out from the crowd, finding commercial success. The single, “Born To Roll” became a crossover hit, reaching number 23 in the Billboard Hot 100. Shortly after, Ace joined Special Ed and Buckshot, of Black Moon fame, for Spike Lee- arranged crew, Crooklyn Dodgers, who appeared in Lee’s film, “Crooklyn,” with Ace and co. achieving a number 60 single with the title track.

Their next record, 1995’s “Sittin’ On Chrome,” displayed a more polished sound, featuring the hit, “I.N.C. Ride” which sampled “For The Love of You” by the Isley Brothers. It would be six years before another Master Ace full length, although Masta Ace continued to perform and collaborate with other artists. 2001’s “Disposable Arts,” Masta Ace’s fourth album, became an Underground classic, peaking at number 90 in the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The veteran rapper continued to release singles and albums throughout the 2000s, which continued to be received positively.

In 2012, still going strong in the rap game, Masta Ace released the MF Doom produced, “MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne,” an album dedicated to his mother, reinstating his talent. In 2016 he released the project The Falling Season another great concept record about himself starting high school. In 2018 he released A Breaukelen story with producer Marco Polo.

Masta Ace is one of the most consistent artists in Hip Hop – catch him live at Band On The Wall on Monday August 28th.
