Led Bib

Mark Holub, drums

Liron Donin, bass

Chris Williams, sax / effects

Pete Grogan, sax

We’re really, really chuffed to announce that we’ve landed the magnificent Led Bib during their UK tour, managing to snare one of only two gigs in the north. Oh, yes, be aware that the gig is on a Monday,

not our usual Thursday. (I can’t wait, Geoff)

Led Bib are one of the UK’s most daring and acclaimed bands, smashing through genre boundaries with a sound that fuses jazz, rock and stabs of improve here and there, into something entirely their own.

Formed in 2003 by drummer and composer Mark Holub, the group have released 11 albums, toured internationally, and picked up many major accolades – including a Mercury Prize nomination for their break-out record:

“Sensible Shoes.” Led Bib have consistently earned critical acclaim for their restless creativity and explosive live shows. Over 22 years in, Led Bib are still making music that’s impossible to pin down – and impossible to ignore.

“Led Bib are back as a lean and mean four-piece for their first new album in several years. It’s a riotously melodic set, with saxophonists Chris Williams and Pete Grogan going toe-to-toe with maverick drummer/bandleader Mark Holub and wildly creative bassist Liran Donan. While they “continue to make the world safe for dangerous music,” the sound of the group has matured and become deeper and more melodic, incorporating influences from other cultures and weaving them into their Motorik, prog and punky DNA.” – JazzWise (UK)
