Match&Fuse London 2016
When we announced Match&Fuse Toulouse and London, after Brexit, we said that bringing together musicians from over 15 countries across Europe was a political ‘up yours’ to the obtuse world we found ourselves in. That was before the US elections…
The fight goes on but the musicians that played gave us and audiences the energy to do that. 2 days of music happened in 7 spaces at the Vortex and Cafe Oto in Dalston and New River Studios near Manor House. Acts are listed and our Soundcloud button is below to check their music.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved and the open-minded audiences that came along.

Gina Southgate is a long-time friend of Match&Fuse and the creative music scene in general. As an artist her live paintings during gigs brings an added sense of risk and artistic improvisation.
