Riot Jazz Summer of Love at Antwerp Mansion

Consistently selling out in advance and with a legion of regulars that have a well-earned trust of anything that’s thrown at them, Riot Jazz are notorious for throwing ridiculous parties, most recently at Rusholme’s slightly hard to find gem Antwerp Mansion. This is their last one for the summer as they lay back and soak up the international acclaim due to arrive from the release of their first 7” and forthcoming LP on First Word Records. Live music comes from the well established Extra Love (10-piece dub and reggae), Brighton dubsters and Wah Wah 45-signed Resonators, plus all-round funksters Too Much Love (think Quantic and Fela Kuti chilling with Ray Barretto). There’s also free face painting! Selectors on the night are Coops and Rich Reason.

Fri 7 June, Antwerp Mansion, Kent Road, Rusholme, M14 5RF, 10pm, £4/£5.50/£7, www.skiddle.com
