SUMMARY:THE YOUTHSAYERS & THE SOOTHSAYERS – LIVE!
DESCRIPTION:COME FEEL THE RHYTHM WITH THIS UNMISSABLE GROUP OF THE VERY BEST OF YOUNG SOUTH LONDON TALENT: THE YOUTHSAYERS, *along with a selection of THE SOOTHSAYERS!,*in A UNIQUE AND FABULOUS, HIP-SWAYING, SKA/ROOTS/REGGAE DRIVEN EXPLOSION OF RHYTHMIC, MELODIC JOY! DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY!\nHigh-quality public performances by The Youthsayers are attended by people across generations. The Youthsayers quality output is reflected in their invitation to play at iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, in the Youth Music Proms, We Out Here Festival, WOMAD, Jubilation festival, and the London Jazz Festival, where they regularly perform at the Clore gallery in The Royal Festival Hall.\nTHE YOUTHSAYERS is the brain-child of saxophonist Idris Rahman and trumpeter Robin Hopcraft of The Soothsayers. They are a South London based music performance and education group working with talented young people to develop group playing skills through ensemble work and live performance. ROBIN and IDRIS act as creative mentors bringing their depth of knowledge, commitment and experience from decades of playing and making music. (Their own band, THE SOOTHSAYERS, created a sound that is both timeless and forward-thinking.) Through their links to the music world, The Youthsayers get to work with other professional musicians including Dele Sosimi, (who worked with Fela Kuti) and The Top Cats.\nTHE YOUTHSAYERS brings together hard to reach young people –  beginners and more experienced musicians – and offers them the highest level of musicianship in Afrobeat, Reggae and Jazz music. Their programme includes weekly sessions where young musicians learn new music, explore improvisation and develop performance skills. The Youthsayers have shared their youth workshop programme with 100s of young people nationwide. The results are wonderful – afrobeat/ska/jazz with a energetic young edge to it. DON’T MISS THIS CHANCE TO SEE TOMORROW’S RISING STARS!\nFor this special performance at Sandy Hill Arts we will be presenting a combined band featuring current and former YOUTHSAYERS members as well as FOUR of the THE SOOTHSAYERS including band leaders Idris and Robin. \nExpect energy, dynamics and a big afrobeat sound tinged with jazz and dub augmentations. \nDance, listen and have your spirits lifted high!\n \nDO NOT MISS THIS ONE – one night only!\nBar and food all evening. Come early and make an evening of it! Jerk chicken, veggie curry, lovely site, grassy bank, stream, steam railway.\nSaturday 27 June 7.00 pm\nTickets : £15 (student/ U18 £10)\n \nWe are situated just opposite Corfe Castle steam railway station (walk over the bridge). No parking unless accessible needs and if so please email info@sandyhillarts.co.uk in advance. Free parking at NT car park nearby. Buses from Swanage, Poole, Wareham. Trains to Wareham and bus or taxi from there. Steam railway from Swanage!\n
