Shambala Festival… 16 days to go!!

August 6th, 2008  |  Published in Current Events, Essential Gigs

With only 16 days left until the gates of Shambala Festival open once more, we are all seriously excited!  We received the final draft of the program yesterday, and it is jammed full of incredible musical acts, crazy cabaret , wonderful workshops and so much more it would be impossible to list it all here…  Well, of course it would be possible- it would just take me ages and it would totally spoil the surprise when you arrive!

I suppose though, that i can let a few juicy musical treats out of the bag- exclusive information for the Jibbering Massive!

There will be Brum’s very own 2-tone heroes, The Beat, headlining Friday night on the Main Stage.  The Nextmen will be kicking up a reggae-hiphop storm in the Dome on Saturday.  The legendary Nicky Blackmarket will be spinning choice cuts for the Junglist massive, while The Destroyers will be battling with the Dhol Blasters.  Lastly, i am delighted to say that, after many year’s of trying, we have finally secured a slot from the awesome Overproof Soundsystem, Birmingham’s finest roots n steppa dub live act who have just finished a sell out tour of New Zealand and Australia.  There are, of course, loads more bands playing folk, blues, jazz, ska, skiffle, rock n roll, hiphop, breaks and beyond… but you are going to have to wait to find out who!!

Tickets are selling fast and we will sell out before the event.  So, if you haven’t already got one… get on it!!  Get them either in person from Jibbering in Moseley or Online through The Ticketsellers.

Live Music at Jibbering

August 5th, 2008  |  Published in General Jibberish, In Store Events

On Friday evening, Jibbering was treated to a live performance by Simon Harris who was launching his new album of summery, soulful, folky numbers with Alison Symons on backing vocals.  We even have a little video!  It’s only a mobile phone thingy with pretty poor sound but, being new to this blogging malarky, i’m still quite excited- let’s hope it works!

The turn out was good, the vibes were jolly, the music was great and Simon was, as ever, highly entertaining! All in all, i think that it worked really well.  Thanks Si and Alison!

It reminded me that the few live shows that the shop has hosted before have also been pretty bloody good.  Most notably, an amazing lunchtime set by Nick Harper- now that was something special!  Well, anyway, it got me thinking.  Hmmm…

“Maybe its time to do a few more,” I suggested to Robin.

“How about a Friendly Fire unplugged session?” He suggested.

“Nice!”  Said I.

So, it looks like we have a Niyabinghi acoustic reggae session on the horizon.  Wicked!!  Keep an I n I out, and we’ll let you know when…

Simon Harris Album Launch

August 1st, 2008  |  Published in In Store Events

Simon Harris has been a stalwart of the local music scene relentlessly performing both as a solo singer songwriter and with his own band- The Bright Size Gypsies.

We are very pleased to welcome Simon to Jibbering Records this evening (Fri 1st Aug) for the launch of his new album “81, Oakfield.”  The shop will be open from 7-9pm and he will be performing songs from the album.   So come on down, soak up some quality entertainment, meet the man himself and then, more than likely, head to a local watering hole for further refreshment!

I have had the chance to check the album out.  With lots of jazz, folk and soul coming through, it is quite a departure from his usual gypsy vibes.  He has handpicked a wonderful array of talented musicians to feature on the album (including his father who plays with the Philarmonia Orchestra) and the overall result is a fruity little album well worth checking out for excellent songwriting and some quality summertime vibes.

Hope to see ya there!

Jibbering Sessions Free Party!!

July 30th, 2008  |  Published in Previous Events

Well Well Well…  What a fun night was had by all!!!
We were treated to some blinding sets, especially DJ Berts rippin up the main room with a truly bad ass sets of dirty beats and breaks, and Damon The Delicious spinning a seriously fruity set of dancehall and heavy roots out in the courtyard.

The courtyard was really where it was at- it was rammed!  At one point we had a “one up/one down” policy imposed on the stairs… untill the bouncers sensibly realised it was a waste of time as there is another door downstairs anyway!!

Massive thanks to all the DJs that came to spin their wares and to all you lovely folk that came out to play!

Roll on the Free Part eh?!
