Band On The Wall in Northern Quarter

Transglobal Underground presents U.N.I.T.E

.
UNITE - A GATHERING OF STRANGERS is a project conjured up on a cold night somewhere in Central Europe by HAMID MAN TU and TIM WHELAN from the UK based multi-ethnic multi-musical collective TRANSGLOBAL UNDERGROUND. UNITE stands for URBAN NATIVE INTEGRATED TRADITIONS OF EUROPE. Taking stock of their group of collaborators and co-conspirators across Europe, they were looking to create something that reflected both that network and the growth of the contacts and movements that have taken place over the time that Trans-Global Underground has moved back and forth across the continent.

An exploration through music looking at exile, emigration and movement in space and time across Europe, mixing traditional music from the British Isles and Eastern Europe with electronic beats and modern instrumentation. This will also be an audio visual journey through Europe from one part of the continent to the other, with live VJing and newsreel footage from the last century. Expect an eclectic array of artists including Tim and Hamid from Transglobal Underground, Jim Moray, Martin Furey, the Perunika Trio and more surprises to be announced!

Band on the Wall is a not-for-profit venue run by registered charity Inner City Music. We exist to present the best music from around the world and support our main stage events with a dynamic education programme which operates throughout the year -  both in the venue and in the community and at local schools.
