**KING CAPISCE**
Sheffield’s experimental instrumental outfit King Capisce are extremely pleased to announce their return with long-awaited third album Memento Mori on Lamplight Social Records. Part of the new wave of pioneering UK Jazz crossover bands, King Capisce‘s acclaimed sound is dynamic, full of energy and ideas. Their new album is their best yet and their homecoming live shows are not to be missed.

**ROLLER TRIO**
Roller Trio is James Mainwaring, saxophone & electronics, Luke Wynter, guitar and Luke Reddin-Williams, drums. Their mix of high octane technicality and deceptively catchy tunes has transcended their Jazz heritage bringing them acclaim from fans and critics alike. Their eponymous debut album was nominated for the 2012 Mercury Prize and the band were also nominated for MOBO’s Best Jazz Act that same year. 2015 sees them release their highly anticipated follow-up ‘FRACTURE’.
“Dark, menacing, bass heavy – the new sound of UK jazz” – Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 6 Music
