THE HERBALISER | PHOTO GALLERY
Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff, Fri 4 May
Formed in 1990 by Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba, The Herbaliser’s journey from turntables to a seven-piece jazz-funk band has been truly phenomenal. Judging by the crowd at Clwb Ifor Bach and the people I was speaking to, it seemed a lot of the old Juice Joint gang had turned up to get down.
Lots of brass and drums and a lively attitude made for a set that had the top floor of Clwb thumping. Not entirely sure why it wasn’t filled to capacity on the night, but great music met with a fantastic audience. The Herbaliser’s new album Bring Out The Sound is out now on BBE Records.
