Live at Freedom Mills: Tempo Feliz, Tocha, Unidos do Ritmo Samba

Here at Freedom Mills we are all about the eclectic. With this in mind and with one foot solidly in the electronic music scene, we're very proud to bring you 'live at Freedom Mills', which will showcase some serious live music talent over the coming months.

Our focus will be on event curation, with the emphasis on vibes rather than genres. We'll be scouring the musical landscape to bring you the finest live acts around, always aiming to find your new favourite band.

Not content with filling your ears, we'll have a revolving roster of street food vendors to fill your stomachs as well.

To keep you dancing after the bands have stopped, we'll have a careful selection of DJs spinning records into the night.

For our first event we're heralding the arrival of summer Brazilian style with some scorching sounds from Tempo Feliz. Expect original material and unique interpretations of classic Brazilian tunes from this 8-piece ensemble.

Support comes from Peruvian native Tocha who shines classic folk and Latino styles through a contemporary lens.

Kickstarting proceedings will be samba drummers Unidos do Ritmo whose riotous rhythms are guaranteed to get your weekend off to a flying start.
