Horace X

Horace X formed in 1993, combining Mark's infectious dance rhythms with Eastern European fiddle tunes. They played their first gig soon after, sharing a bill with virtuoso Bulgarian jazzer, Ivo Papasov, and went on to play a host of festivals, including Glastonbury Jazz World stage, the following summer.

Since then they have appeared at festivals and venues in the UK, Europe and Canada including:



Montreal Jazz Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Toronto Harbourfront, Sidmouth International Festival, Glastonbury Jazz World, Avalon and Club Stages, Lost Vagueness, Megadog Total Eclipse, Cambridge Folk Festival, Exodus, Blackhorse Festival, Melkweg World Roots, Terschelling's Oerel, Towersey, Strawberry Fair, Aberdeen Alternative Festival, Phoenix:Turning up the Beat, Fleche D'Or Paris, Rock'n'Solex, Orange WOW, Black Horse Festival, Off the Tracks, On the Edge, Big Day Out, Bracknell Festival, Penybryn Seswyn Fawr, Presteigne Sheep Music Festival. to name but a few.

Horace X have shared bills with The Bhundu Boys, Transglobal Underground, Asian Dub Foundation, Joi, Banca de Gaia, Baka Beyond, Ani DiFranco, Buck 65, Elvis Costello, Fundamental and the like. They have recorded four C.D.s, the first of which was put forward for nomination for the 1995 Mercury prize. Notoriously indescribable, Horace X venture ever further into uncharted waters playing a uniquely total global mix. Joining forces with Horace X, ragga-chants from Simon X ride across irresistible dance beats. A huge mix of sequenced and live sounds: Drums, Bass, Samples, keyboards, Asian/Celtic/Cajun fiddle, Free and Funky horns. all this and a stunning UltraViolet Stage Show.
