Galliano plus guests // Sunday 2nd May // Chalk // Brighton

Galliano are a London-based acid jazz group that was originally active between 1988 and 1997. The group was among the first acts to record for Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson's Acid Jazz record label and was also the first signing to Peterson's Talkin' Loud label. The original lineup included Robert Gallagher on vocals, credited as Roberto Galliano, along with Constantine Weir on vocals and Crispin Robinson on percussion. Their early work incorporated spoken-word elements influenced by groups such as the Last Poets. — via Last.fm

Andrew Chalk is a very prolific artist in solo and in collaborative projects (Mirror, Ora, Organum). His writing is devoted to Subterranean-droning picture music, including a mosaic of minimalist textures and effervescent tonal clusters. Chalk has become increasingly synonymous with the output of his own Faraway Press imprint, which has painstakingly governed the release of an ever-more-mesmerising accumulation of super-limited edition CDs and LPs. — via Last.fm
