What the actual?!!!……

Taz Babiker has just told me he’s also going to be joined by accomplished New York percussionist David Beauchamp, and sublime local singers Briony Greenhill and Emily Roblyn on backing!

So, with these three, and with and Ben Roberts on cello, and Michael Stanton on guitar, Taz has brought together a serious band - this is ridiculous!!

If we’d known he was presenting such a stellar line-up, we wouldn’t have charged just £12.50! The next event on Friday 30th January won’t be that cheap, so grab a bargain, as well as a great experience!

To clarify, you're gonna experience soaring melodies to start the night (don't miss any of it 😉), and then you'll get a totally energising dance experience!!

With only 100 tickets available, it’s gonna sellout!

YUM Part Two: Release is less than 2 weeks away and tickets are limited to only 100 people, so get yours before we sell out!

On the night, after JayBe’s bangin’ World/Tech/Bass House, he’ll pass the dance baton to Jane (Jay Tee).

Jay Tee will end the night with the best in underground house blending fresh cuts with heritage grooves. With standout sets at The Orchard Party, Give!, Under The Holly Moon, and locally at Mixology, Glow, and at The Angel Totnes you can expect deepness, energy and dancefloor heat!

Bring it.

On 3rd October, from Taz'z sublime melodies we’ll move to dance!

This is the essence of YUM (You Understand Magic) - there’s alchemy in the space, when different elements are combined to make night of great entertainment!

Jason (Jay) is the creator of YUM, the curator of the evening, and as JayBe, after Taz, he’ll bring the energy right up!

We’re trying out a new space, so there won’t be the same visuals this time (soon though, when we have access to the whole venue!) - but JayBe will still bring his bangin’ tunes!

Part Two: Release is an evening of delicious, soulful entertainment on Friday 3rd October, from 7pm to 11pm.

We’re gonna have a sweet time trying out our new space - the basement at the MIC, Buckfastleigh!

We'll transform this room to create a beautifully decorated dance environment, a fully stocked alcohol-free bar, and a separate chill-out space for moments to recharge.

Presenting Part Two: Release is an exciting moment, as a new home for this alchemical enterprise is explored…..
