Cafe OTO

FINDERS KEEPERS NYE WITH DJS ANDY VOTEL AND JANE WEAVER

£15 adv (£10 members) / £20 door

See in 2015 in style at OTO with a very special night from cult record label Finders Keepers featuring label founder and musical polymath Andy Votel and shapefshifting psych-folk songwriter Jane Weaver DJing throughout the night and the OTO bar open until 3:30am.

Now over a decade old, Finders Keepers was set up by Votel and Doug Shipton – building on their previous experience with Twisted Nerve Records and Cherry Red Records respectively – with the aim of introducing fans of psychedelic / jazz / folk / funk / avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak to a lost world of undiscovered vinyl artifacts from the annals of alternative pop history.

GOODIEPAL CLASSIC

£3 adv / £5 door

A second show of the festive season from radical Danish/Faroese artist, musician, storyteller and composer Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester – aka Goodiepal who returns to OTO for another night of the hypnotic and unexpected. This time reverting to his ‘classic’ live set-up, following a Jazz Night with Kresten Osgood in December, long-time followers of Goodiepal will know that in this case, ‘classic’ can mean anything and everything. With a performance style as enthralling as it is unclassifiable, Goodiepal draws on electronic music, computer technology, spoken word and broader cultural theory. Utterly unique.

OTO BAR

FREE ENTRY

Come in and hang out. We have possibly the best beer in the world on tap from our friends at the Kernel plus an extensive range of spirits from Japan including award winning Japanese whiskies alongside some great Single Malts from Scotland. Not to mention some exceptional beers in the fridge including a big range of Belgian greats.

LOUIS MOHOLO MOHOLO QUARTET – TWO DAY RESIDENCY

£8 adv (£7 members) / £10 door)

Two-day pass: £14 adv (£12 members)

The great South African drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo returns to OTO with his quartet featuring longtime collaborators Jason Yarde (saxophone), John Edwards (bass), and Alexander Hawkins (piano) – their first London dates since the release of their latest album, 4 Blokes, on Ogun. The quartet seem to go from strength to strength and have played a brace of utterly enthralling shows at OTO in the past couple of years. These performances promise to be every bit as special.

“Experience the sensation of being blown away by the waves of emotion, whether overwhelmingly ecstatic or exquisitely refined. And most of all, perhaps, listen to the Louis Moholo Moholo Quartet to understand how, in this music, the individual and the collective can simultaneously attain equal importance: a most elevated state of being.” – Richard Williams, The Blue Moment, review of Louis Moholo Moholo Quartet at Cafe OTO
