Friday 21st August 8PM £6Steampunk pioneers play in aid of the Refugee Radio Orchestra
Like an Indian Kate Bush from some mad alternative reality where the Victorians had access to spaceships, Sunday Driver are here to put the steam into Steampunk. With sitars and guitars, clarinets, tablas and god knows what else, this Cambridge six-piece mash up the East and the West, the past, present and future into a kind of science fiction folk music.
Sunday Driver ave played everywhere from Camden to Bangalore. Their new album, In the City of Dreadful Night, was inspired by Victorian London and Raj-era Calcutta. Their music has featured on Radio4 as the soundtrack to a documentary on leprosy (!). Sunday Driver are playing an exclusive show at the Latest Music Bar to raise funds for the Refugee Radio Orchestra, with support from global musicians.
Refugee Radio host a radio show every Sunday 8PM on RadioReverb 97.2FM and via podcast at www.refugeeradio.org.uk It works to combat racism and social exclusion by giving newcomers to the city the chance to tell their own story and share their music with their new community and it also works to support young refugee musicians.
