Galliano plus Pete Josef // Sun 3rd May // Chalk // Brighton

Galliano was in its inception, about sampling and using as foundational material, specific music put together from a sensibility and curation. This came from a set of clubs , radio shows bands and scenes coming out of the 1980s. To that extent 'nothing has changed' . The band stopped in 1997 and a double album release , 'Halfway Somewhere' was a return to gigs and recording in August 2024, albeit 30 years later ...

Galliano, released 'Unreliable Memories of Contested Conversations ' on 30th January 2026 , and are currently in the middle of a tour supporting The Brand New Heavies in the UK . A New Album and UK /European tours are being planned for Autumn 2026 as they re assert themselves in the middle of the Boogie Funk Jazz axis.

Pete Josef - You might know Pete Josef for his album Colour - a soulful, effervescent journey through emotion championed by Gilles Peterson.  Before that though, Josef was best known for his collaborations with Roni Size, and also with Darren Emerson (Underworld) in the lo-fi house duo The White Lamp.  In the decade since, he has collaborated and featured with countless other proponents of dance music of all flavours - Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Helsloot, Matt Zo, mOat and Feiertag to name a few.
