Music & DJs

Fraser Anderson earned Chuck Berry's nod with a resounding "two thumbs up". In the realm of soul-baring musicians, he stands shoulder to shoulder with, and has been likened to Bon Iver, Damien Rice, Nick Drake and Laura Marling.

His music, a canvas painted with tales, uniquely tuned acoustics, and a tender falsetto, delivers an intimate experience that hits you square in the gut. It's a poignant journey, akin to Joni Mitchell's melodic movements.

For over 30 years, Baka Beyond has been blending African and Celtic music into an electrifying mix that's got everyone dancing! Their music isn't just about beats; it's about bridging cultures and spreading joy.

Inspired by the Baka Pygmies of Cameroon, Baka Beyond doesn't just play their music – they live it. Martin Cradick and Su Hart, the brains behind the band, were so moved by the Baka's spirit during their first visit to the Cameroon rainforest that they knew they had to share it with the world. Their album "Spirit of the Forest" catapulted them to global fame, but they've stayed true to their roots. To ensure the Baka people benefit from their music, they set up the charity "Global Music Exchange" and still visit the same Baka extended family every year to make sure that they continue to receive their royalties.
