 Samay A new music agency which has developed out of the work that Musicport has done over the last 8 years creating UK's biggest indoor world music event. Through doing so we have met many artists who we believe in and want to promote. Our current small (but very perfect) roster is just the beginning and we hope to be able to develop and expand the roster in due course. We are currently actively booking : Moussu T E Lei Jovents . Marseille troubadors who create some of the best feel-good music around.Their new album "Home Sweet Home" recently got excellent reviews in the British press. Maalstroom ; With excellent new album Open Window this Dutch group never fail to impress. Think Flook (well Brian Finnegan was an original member) plus Dutch influences andplus the occasional song.. Samay ; One of the standout acts from Musicport 06 they always deliver a mesmeric performance. With recently launched album SONGS FOR A GLOBAL JOURNEY they are beginning to make waves. Available all year. The Hut People : Hard to describe ....but this duo of Gary Hammond & Sam Pirt are getting an astonishing reaction wherever they play. Book them now before they hit the big time.. Muntu Valdo ; Charismatic and accomplished one man band who creates beautiful Sawa blues from his native Cameroon. Touring with Richard Bono November 2008 and recently seen playing at Africa Express/Africa Now where he traded licks with Damon Albarn as well as doing a solo song. Laye Sow ; Senegalese singer/guitarist based in UK recently seen on stage with his cousin Babaa Maal at Africa Express/Africa Now at The Barbican Centre.
