Rich Mix Autumn programme

19 November 2009

Transglobal Underground

Sat 21 Nov / 8pm/ Bar / £13 / £9 advanced An eclectic line-up of DJ's, producers and musicians from all backgrounds and cultures, who refuse to be straitjacketed into one style.

In 2008, they won the BBC Radio 3 World Music Album for their seventh album, Moonshout. They mix styles and rhythms with a total disregard for genre, technological barriers and commonsense.
