Tongue Fu – Bank Holiday Special!
Mon 2nd May 2011 - Rich Mix, Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA
featuring
Soweto Kinch, Salena Godden & Joe Driscoll
Tongue Fu are very excited to announce they have joined forces with top UK literature producers Renaissance One, and to celebrate they’ve put together something special
for May 2nd Bank Holiday.
Three riotous renegades of music and spoken word - performing as ever with the improvisatory brilliance of The Tongue Fu Band.
Soweto Kinch – Mobo Award winning, Mercury nominated rapper, jazz saxophonist, social commentator and historian with three stunning albums and a freestyle flow as slick as the Deepwater Horizon. “It's difficult to think of anyone currently able to produce a more convincing and engaging mix than Soweto Kinch” BBC Review http://www.soweto-kinch.com
Salena Godden – Punk poetry goddess published by Penguin, Canongate, Picador & The Guardian; regular on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live; collaborator with Beardyman and Coldcut and host of the legendary Book Club Boutique. “She is everything the Daily Mail is terrified of.” KERRANG MAGAZINE http://thebookclubboutique.com/salena-godden/
Joe Driscoll – Multi-instrumentalist-singer-rapper-one man band, stunning audiences around the planet from Glastonbury to Malawi’s Lake of Stars. A soul-infused, boundary-hopping entertainer, who’s opened for Matisyahu, Regina Spektor and The Sugar Hill Gang.
