PENCIL launch! w. The Herbaliser, The Haggis Horns & more

9th March sees the launch party for PENCIL, a forward-thinking, organic
music project where audience and artists experience a night in unison.
PENCIL brings you music with integrity, gathering together high calibre
acts from across the world in one very special place, the iconic Village
Underground, to create our very own musical playground. The evening has
been lovingly designed to respond to and interact with all of our guests
inside the club so that we might take you on a journey, through music,
to euphoria.

Expect live percussion, musical experimentation, unusual jam sessions,
fire juggling, live art, The Hip Hop Chip Shop and so much more as
Pencil brings music to life.

Join us for an audial and visual feast like no other, celebrating the
unmistakable sounds of the legend that is THE HERBALISER. Add to this
live music at its very best, Scotland's funk heavyweights THE HAGGIS
HORNS a.k.a.“the best fucking horn section in the world” according to
MARK RONSON, and you've got one funk load of funk. The effervescent
GABBY YOUNG AND OTHER ANIMALS take to the stage to boldly blend genres
and blow you away with their ‘circus -swing'. And just to funk things up
further, we give you Norwegian new kid on the block, ERIC NESS and his
six-piece Glam Jazz band. Dubbed 2012's 'One to watch', and even, 'a
musical messiah' (The London Word), Eric's destined for great things.

This is PENCIL. Try something new.
