Mark Kavuma is a key player on the contemporary London scene with a distinctive sound whose lyricism, soulful tone and grace of technique spread joy and excitement among audiences and fellow musicians. The Banger Factory is a collective he started as a cradle for young talent and this quintet will play music from their new album ‘Ultrasound’ which marks the start of a partnership with Theo Erskine. It captures the zeitgeist of that moment when musicians starved of creative, collaborative music-making during the pandemic met again and each track is suffused with joy yet tinged with reflection
