Les Thomas sings with a warm, resonant baritone and writes songs that balance poetry with bite — stories that linger, lines that matter. His performances carry an intimacy and conviction that draw listeners in close.
Alongside him, Joshua Jones on guitar and Trev Fernandez on piano add colour and conversation — responsive, daring, and alive in the moment. Together they create a dynamic that’s as rare as it is compelling.
A one-off chance to hear the trio in full flight.
MambaNegra is a 8-piece multicultural West African drumming & dance crew (Argentina, Chiile, Mexico, Australia).
Rooted in the deep traditions of West Africa, our rhythms are raw, hypnotic, and straight from the soul — we honour the tradition and culture, but bring it to the dancefloor with a bang.
This isn’t your average sit-down gig — it's a full-blown of ancient beats that'll shake your bones and light up your heart.
Expect that primal pull to move and a dancefloor ritual vibes.
Backing us up:
• Backyard Utopia – world music fusion featuring the rare combo of Kora and Banjo. It’s earthy, dreamy, and totally unique.
• Ostralishe Kapelye – a wild Klezmer band with a horn section that’s full-tilt, heart-thumping chaos in the best possible way.
