A rootsy rockin’ psychedelica, the Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been expanding the borders of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performance since forming Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Touring the UK this summer, the band’s return to The Stables is much anticipated with their just-released new album, “A Very Unusual Head”.

Their connection with audiences taps into a greater human-ness and captivates. Joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen, the Slambovians create a show that is constantly evolving “with a little help from their friends”. 2022’s line-up includes RJ MacCarthaigh (bass, keys, sax), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys founding member Anthony Thistlethwaite appears on the new album). Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it.

“9 out of 10 – Love at first spin!” – Americana UK
“They’re not just a band. That’s like saying the Bible is just a book.”

“Longo is an awesome songwriter” – Garth Hudson, The Band
“Great songs and a whole lotta heart” – Meg Griffin, SiriusXM
“Simply one of the finest American bands” – All Music

Fox & Firkin are pleased to welcome Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 for a very special event funded by FreeNow & We Are Lewisham.

Seun Kuti is the youngest son of legendary Afrobeat godfather Fela Kuti. At the age of nine, Seun expressed a wish to sing to his father. A short while later, Seun started performing with his father and the band, until his father’s untimely death in 1997. Seun, then only 14 years old, assumed the role as leader of the Egypt 80. Ever since, Seun has followed the political and social ethos of his father. Along the way, he began to add his own twist to the music, digging deep into various African traditions to reflect the continent’s struggles and cultures. About three quarters of the current Egypt 80 line-up consists of musicians that not only played with Fela Kuti, but often were arrested and harassed alongside the founder of the Afrobeat movement. Seun Kuti has toured the world and released many albums.

The Deptford Dub Club features a feast of talent, headlined by Tessa Pollitt , for our Carnival Warm-Up event. She’ll be spinning 100% Roots and Culture Reggae in Soundsystem style. Tessa was the bassie throughout the career of The Slits, who’s seminal 70s LP “The Cut” was produced by Dub-master Dennis Bovell. Tessa draws from a deep love of the music and selects from a collection amassed since back in the day.

Another of our amigos, Danny Dread, ( also known as Ras Danny Mosiah,) will be putting the needle to the groove on the wheels of steel too, to close the show. Danny will need no introduction to regulars at The Deptford Dub Club, as he is a stalwart. He’s more widely

known through his work with the Jah Shaka Soundsystem, over many years. His sets are always wicked. Resident Soft Wax will also be spinning, to warm proceedings up.

There will be the usual instrumental and vocal accompaniments, live and direct on the mic., throughout the evening. Our resident singjay, the mighty Doc Murdoch will be MCing throughout and we expect that Tessa will be accompanied by a very specially guests. We will have fresh live instrumentation, from a new horns crew, with Waxy on SoundFX during Tessa’s set. Throughout the evening the great Prince Fatty will be on the desk, ensuring a rich, full and deep sound form the Soundsystem..

Rocksteady will be playing all afternoon in the glorious garden. So reach early, we’ll be moving indoors and warming up the big, deep and full dub machine from 6 and running through til midnight. Skanking is a feature of this night in a convivial boozer, so put on your

dancing shoes. We expect a road block.

Free B4 6 then £3

NB: Tessa was the bassie for the mighty Slits throughout their recording career; including

playing all over their awesome debut album, “The Cut” ( produced by Dennis Bovell ) and

“Heard it Through The Grapevine” single. Through to their final ( Adrian Sherwood produced

) LP, that contains a killer version of “Babylon”. Not surprisingly this queen of avant bass has

a phenomenal collection of reggae records that she’ll be selecting from on this one away

night.
