Hailing from Johannesburg by way of Doncaster, Skinny Pelembe’s creative offerings cover just as much ground. The enigmatic maestro’s syncopated vocal delivery floats above a tapestry of sun-soaked folk, laid back psychedelia and afro-tipped, UK dancehall vibes.

Discovered by the main man Gilles Peterson as part of the DJ’s Future Bubblers Programme, Skinny Pelembe might’ve only come an hour up the road to see us here in Thirsk but the propulsive, eclectic energy of his music has clearly traveled the world over.
