Motown Pirates

The Watering Hole Perranporth Beach, Perranporth, Cornwall, United Kingdom

The happy band of musical pirates is fronted by Liz with occasional guest/dep singer Jay, professional singers who have international experience with various chart topping bands including The Drifters, Mirage, The Four Tops) as well as being genetically perfect in all ways. Well endowed by a fantastic brass twosome on trumpet and trombone (Chris and MJ) the band invoke the spirit of Motown whilst easily slipping in and out of 70’s funky disco and 80’s dance classics. Driving the Motown bus is Zena, small but perfectly formed drummer extraordinaire and horizontally laid back (aren’t they all?) bass player Nicky. The line up is completed by the nimble fingered duo of ‘fingers’ Alex on guitar. Oh, and did we mention that all the band sing too? This makes the Motown Pirates quite unique as you really ain’t heard nothing like all of them in full flow – harmonies anyone? Put simply, The Motown Pirates are not just a band of astonishing musicians but a whole ‘experience’ and they guarantee to get you dancing – or your money back!

High Contrast (18+)

The Watering Hole Perranporth Beach, Perranporth, Cornwall, United Kingdom

“The name High Contrast is a philosophy,” explains Lincoln Barrett, the man behind the moniker, “When I started making drum & bass in the late ‘90s it was very dark, masculine and techy-sounding. I really wanted to flip that, to sample disco and be more feminine. People laughed at me but it was ahead of the curve, and more people started doing that. Now it’s time to find another way of changing it…” High Contrast has been at the leading edge of the scene for 15 years. He curated music for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony; he’s worked with everyone from Underworld to DJ Fresh; he’s headlined festivals; he did a timeless Fabriclive mix; and he’s one of dance music’s elite remixers, achieving acclaim for reworks of Adele, Duke Dumont, White Stripes, Kanye West and, of course, London Grammar’s ‘Strong’.
