An enormous brass sousaphone in its case weighing 32 kilos arrived last wed in time to be debued at the Noise and Socialising gig at the Black Swan with Peter Watts steering this beast. Impact was amazing.  We started the gig woth the ant orkezdra prepping for 5th jan in the  Almeria Cavalgata. In an instant the dance floor was seething and the energy was kept up for an hour as the ant set led into the soznak set. We will have to do this again. Andy has immediately taken to the Souza so watch out on the streets in jan as we go super funky orleans style. Meanwhile we have had our last busk for 2009 so happy xmass all and see you in 2010 unless you are in leeds to see our NWSI shows at new years eve. paul

Soznaks days of virtual sofa cruising the profiles of Myspace, Radio indie,  Jango, Facebook , Bebo, Spottify, Twitter etc are over.  We can still visit those venerable doss-houses but now thanks to Chris Maines and WordPress (and whoever designed this crafty little back end) we have our own home.  The site is  still rather unfurnished and we are living in some rooms while we fix others, hanging pictures on the walls and putting carpets down. But we hope you can come and visit soon and come back often to help us get a cosy feeling. It is a fine old rambling mansion and there will soon be many rooms to explore and links to lead you up the garden path.  Do check out those links by the way as they will take you to our other musical and theatrical craziness.

Welcome to the generically unstable world of fusion music.  This is music forged from the great variety of cultures that bless Newcastle upon Tyne UK . Please see the video page for some explanation of the  explosion of cultural variety in Newcastle that enables us to bring together musicians and their influences from Spain Iraq Iran Angola Cameroon South africa Ethiopia Congo Cuba. We hope you will have fun here.  Have a good xmass and give someone Dear Dad Tango it is a mighty fine present.  Paul Miskin
