Me And My Friends + Lola Louii
Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, E8 3DF , [Venue Details]“A sublime fusion that combines pastoral dreaminess with the heat of highlife and Afrobeat sounds” Songlines
Me and My Friends effortlessly weave afrobeat, folk. jazz, vocal harmonies, and dance grooves into a sonic concoction that is theirs alone, underpinned by the hauntingly elegant songs and sparkling highlife guitar of bandleader Nick Rasle.
Over the past 15 years, Me and My Friends have carved out a niche all of their own, touring across Europe and gaining support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews, FiP, Soundway Records, and Quantic. Their live shows are a joyful celebration of free-flowing spontaneity and togetherness - music that invites you in, lifts you up, and keeps you dancing.
Me and My Friends are a true family, each member shaping the sound with their own distinct voice. Fred Harper’s drumming is percussive and jazz-infused, while Emma Coleman’s soaring cello and intricate vocal harmonies add a richness and depth. Sam Murray’s clarinet is funky, playful, and free-spirited, while James Grunwell anchors it all with his spacious, understated bass lines and producer’s ear.
"Love this group!" Gilles Peterson
“An amazing live show!” Will Holland (Quantic)
