Baby Rock Sampler – Ibibio Sound Machine

Missing live music ‘cos you can’t get a babysitter?

Baby Rock Sampler run high quality, family friendly gigs outside the summer festival season for parents and carers. Our sold out shows have featured acts like Nubiyan Twist, The Orielles, Afriquoi, Stealing Sheep, HENGE and Honeyfeet – proper gigs for grownups that the kids enjoy too!

This time our secret perform is… Ibibio Sound Machine! Fronted by Nigerian singer Eno Williams, this incredible, energetic band crosses all boundaries. Their sound is a unique clash of African and electronic elements, inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West-African funk and disco and modern post-punk and electro.
