Alfresco bands a-hoy! Our full band event, where Cousin Kula's lush, sun-drenched pop masterpieces will nestle side-by-side with nu-skool mellow jazz and alt-folk perfection.

Cousin Kula have created their own otherworldly musical universe of serene pop.

“the possibilities of jazz, the emphatic energy of club culture, and the sonic tapestries of psychedelia” CLASH remark.

We are HUGE fans of their recent album on Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section International label. The Cousin Kula sound is unmistakable, instantly familiar - just somehow renewed. Featuring earworm after earworm, the album matures and evolves with every listen.

Masters of the live show, honed over hours and hours of playing time in the Bristol and UK scene, these guys are on a par with the lushness of contemporaries like Khruangbin and Tame Impala, with the underlying soul and funk of Sault.

Summer's Comin Bébé!

Raised in a remote dale in the middle of the Yorkshire uplands, Amy’s warm and delicate folk-leaning DIY songs are steeped in the culture, scenery, folklore and wildlife of the countryside that surrounded and shaped her as a child, and continue to shape her understanding of the world today.

Now based in Bristol, Amy has released a series of 4 EPs, each exploring an element; Weathered by Waves, We got Fire, Where my Garden Lies, and When in the Wind – all receiving support from BBC 6 Music, Uncut Magazine and Rough Trade. They have also fuelled headline tours around the UK and Ireland and landed Ellis guest support slots for artists such as Michael Chapman, Alessi’s Ark, Ryley Walker and Willy Mason.

Oli’s take on soulful jazz music delivered with a purpose inspired by his early Californian roots, nostalgia-tinged, beautiful and unrelenting. His latest EP features some of the best musicians of Bristol’s jazz scene (Snazzback, Rwkus, Bristol Lockdown Big Band).

He’s been featured on Emeli Sandé’s album Let’s Say for Instance, opening the track Summer with his clear and delicate saxophone sound. After a successful tour and release of his debut EP A Brief Return to Solitude, which has gained widespread attention across the UK music scene and support from BBC Radio 6 and Jazz FM, Oli has solidified himself as part of Bristol’s burgeoning music scene and has extended his reach as one of the most exacting up and coming artists on the UK Jazz Scene.

Expect a unique blend of jazz and soul influences, emotive melodies and energetic grooves throughout.

"A burgeoning talent… conversant with many aspects of jazz and is already finding his own voice."

— Derek Nash - Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra
