SUMMARY:Live: Two Man Ting
DESCRIPTION:The mighty Two Man Ting return to Art Bank!\nTwoManTing was formed in 2024 when Sierra Leonean percussionist Jah-man Aggrey, and guitarist Jon Lewis were playing together as part of dance band, Le Cod Afrique, at events such as Montreux Jazz Festival and WOMAD.\nThe duo immediately became a hit on the UK festival circuit with their brand of bouncy “Sunshine Afro-roots”. Shows have included Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Boomtown Fair, Shrewsbury Folk, Wilderness and Green Man Festivals to name but a few. Using guitar, live loops and percussion the duo creates a highly danceable full band sound and their reputation has earned them recent support slots with the likes of Tinariwen and The Oyster Band. Their music is often featured on BBC 6Music and Radio 3.\nShows feature palm-wine, acoustic dub and highlife grooves with thoughtful and thought-provoking lyrics on subjects ranging from childhood memories, political protest and er….duvets.\nThe latest album “Rhymes with Orange” draws on a range of sounds from 1970s Sierra Leone to 1980s UK punk through to the Soukous beats of the Congo.\n\nTickets: £5 / £7 / £9 ( https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-art-bank-27513955879?_gl=1*15pnr9o*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTQzOTgzMy4xNzQ2MDM4ODY4*_ga_TQVES5V6SH*MTc0NjAzODg2OC4xLjAuMTc0NjAzODg2OC4wLjAuMA.. )\nPay What You Can\n—\n“Brilliant – if you want a bit of early summer, then get this into your ear-holes!”\n(Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music)\n“John Peel would play something like this on his programme and the world would suddenly seem a better place”\n(Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music)\n\n
