The UK-based genre-defying quintet Me and My Friends brings their Afro-infused grooves to West London, soaked in glorious folk harmony.
The band play soulful, poignant music that draws influence from Afrobeat, Jamaican roots, jazz and Ghanaian highlife while subtly incorporating elegant folk songwriting.
The West African finger-picking guitar style of Nick Rasle is cradled by stunning vocal harmonies and the evocative combination of cello and clarinet, all underpinned by a rhythm section with a deeply infectious groove. Alongside playing songs from their three critically acclaimed albums, featured on BBC Radio 2, 4, and 6Music and receiving plaudits from Giles Peterson, Me and My Friends will be performing their new EP, Reworks – which they released back in June this year.
