Sunshine Afro-roots from Sierra Leonean master-drummer Jah-man Aggrey, and UK guitarist Jon Lewis.

Using voice, guitar, live loops and ‘found’ percussion, the duo creates a infectious full band sound, and their reputation has earned them recent support slots with The Oysterband, Tinariwen and Dub Colossus.

Performances feature palm-wine, highlife and acoustic dub, with lyrics in English and Krio, on subjects ranging from childhood memories, political protest and er…. duvets.

Brilliant – love this sound!
Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music
