**** JOHN BLOOD & THE HIGHLYS ****

Music to make you dance, and think, and feel, and move, and groove...The Highlys are an 8-piece reggae band, led by Trinidad-raised John Blood, deeply rooted in a positive energy and vibration and a universal message of love transmitted through word, sound and power! Their sound is a distinct reggae-hybrid that brings calypso, afrobeat, blues and soul to the mix.

**** IN SEARCH OF ****
(Rock/Hip Hop/RnB/Jazz/ Dub)

In Search Of are the result of a friendship formed by four boys at secondary school in East London. There they swapped musical styles and influences to create a group with an output which touches so many genre bases. They fuse rock, hip hop, RnB, reggae, jazz, dub and indie together with hidden, echoey and often eerie vocals and harmonies. Mixing tributes to older sounds with innovative new ones, life is certainly never dull with In Search Of around!
