Featuring Ollie Teeba on the decks and touring with the original 8 piece live band* The Herbaliser return to their spiritual Manchester home for a very special Friday night show.
Way back In January 1995, Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry AKA The Herbaliser, a sample- based beatmaking duo from Twickenham, South West London, released their debut 12” single ‘The Real Killer’ on UK label Ninja Tune. The pair were deeply immersed in Hip Hop culture and heavily into digging around in dusty record bins looking for funky samples. As well as jazz and soul records, they had a particular taste in old movie soundtracks, which would become a particular characteristic of their production sound.
*including Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn), Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone sax- flute), Micah Moody (drums), Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax) Oliver Parfitt (keyboards), Conor Cotterill (bass) & of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables
