Hi everyone!

Hope you're having lovely mornings, afternoons or evenings wherever you are! Just a little reminder that we're throwing a launch party for the brand new issue of MOOF next Thursday the 23rd Feb at The Social in central London. Can't wait!! If you haven't got a copy of the issue yet there'll be mags, merch and brand new MOOF tote bags for sale on the night. Tickets available here: https://thesocial.seetickets.com/event/moof-11-launch/the-social/2556171 (free MOOF mug with every ticket!)

Happy Valentine's Day too! I'm looking forward to seeing the wonderful Dana Gillespie (whose interview you can read in the new issue of MOOF) at the Temple of Arts and Music for a special Valentine's gig later on.

All gig info for the 23rd below, hopefully see you there!

Best wishes,

Melanie xx

Join MOOF Magazine to celebrate the launch of their 11th issue with live music from Jacken Elswyth, Jules Smith and MOOF DJs til late

Magazines and merch available on the night. Doors 8pm. Free MOOF mug with every ticket purchase!

Jacken Elswyth:

Jacken Elswyth is a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder. In her music making she is focused on exploring traditional tunes, developing extrapolations on folk styles and techniques, and investigating drone, ambience, and improvisation within and beyond folk music. She organises the Betwixt & Between tape series as one avenue of these investigations, and compiles occasional live Almagest mixes as another. She plays and records solo and in collaboration – with Shovel Dance Collective, Sullow, and others.

“Her sounds are regularly beautiful and raw, augmented by scratches, tension and twang.” – The Guardian

Jules Smith:

One fifth of South East London psychedelic bossa nova band Baby Vanga, Jules Smith has recently embarked on a solo venture, inspired by greats such as Bert Jansch, Margo Guryan and Circulus. The resulting sound is a glorious amalgamation of acid funk, psych and sunshine pop. His latest single on Strong Island Recordings, “End of a Season” is a whimsical stream-of-consciousness springtime trip. On this date Jules will be joined by a full band.

“Jules Smith’s minimalist approach to the pastoral flute-laden freakout of psychedelia and acid-folk meets baroque pop feels like a joyous portal trip into a sun-kissed enchanted forest wonderland.” – It’s Psychedelic Baby

MOOF DJs

MOOF founder/editor Melanie Xulu will be hitting the decks and DJing her eclectic mix of underground psych, funk and folk til late.
