The OUTSIDELEFT Night Out returns on Saturday April 5th with live music from 80s John Peel favorites, Jackdaw with Crowbar and Vinyl DJ sets from Woodenhand and Prehistoric Man.

It’s all happening at 1000 Trades on the Park, in Lightwoods House in Bearwood and it's a bit of an audio-visual extravaganza at a level we haven't tried before.

Jackdaw with Crowbar
"The best thing to come out of Leamington since the Grand Union Canal" - Stewart Lee
Jackdaw with Crowbar were acclaimed by Peel in the 80s. Timothy makes the music, Adam, if I say, does the vocals, that is barely scratching the surface of what happens during their show. Also in the band is legendary the original Selecter drummer, Aitch, he's on percussion. It's hard to know what their amazing visual artist, Paulina, who completes the band, will deliver on the evening. During their recent performance at Coventry's LTB Showrooms, Paulina trained her camera on the audience, projecting them onto a canvas at the back of the stage, caricaturing and ultimately painting in the crowd. Wow! Jackdaw with Crowbar is going to be loud, almost abrasive fun, it is as Roger Lomax says, "Bass culture meets EDM in a dark alley full of sequins".  

DJ WOODENHAND
DJ Woodenhand’s sets are legendary and this Saturday Night Special, drawing from a sonic palette that incorporates funk, vintage soul, jump blues and jazz that'll have any self-respecting Night Outer waking up with aching joints come Sunday morning. It’ll have been worth it.

PREHISTORIC MAN
Joining us once more in the all important walk-in DJ spot will be Prehistoric Man; you will find his sound stylings on Bandcamp,  expect the record bag he brings from his home in Hertfordshire to be jam-packed with a dubwise pivot around a selection pulsating rhythms from different corners of the globe.Prehistoric Man and Woodenhand

1000 TRADES ON THE PARK, BEARWOOD
1000 Trades on the Park, located in Lightwoods House in Bearwood embody a fiercely independent ethos we are down with. I don't know. They have energy and they simply get it, the 1000 Trades folks understand that you have to invest in the community you wanna be part of and in turn they invest in you.

 Admission is Free but please Pay What You Can

All About and Contributors

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
