David Goo
Fun loving, all dancing rhythm and absolutely no blues! David Goo, a festival favourite and funny as f**k performer is gracing the OneTaste with his outlandish band. Intelligent, hilarious and down right surreal, we’ll all be dancing by the end of the night. The David Goo Variety Show, David own show, is one of the best nights out you can have in London, we promise. We wanted a bring a bit of that to you guys so here he is, headlining The Bedford with us, be prepared to be seriously entertained.

Bridgette Amofah
The Times named her as the female artist to watch in 2008. North London based Bridgette is currently in the studio working on her album with some extremely exciting producers and has been personaly asked to support both French leftfield sensation Sebastien Tellier and American Soul legend Candi Stanton on their UK & European tours.
She’s also the lead vocalist in the critically acclaimed act ‘Oi Va Voi’ where she replaced KT Tunstall, touring the world from Moscow to New York, and has also worked with the likes of The Nextmen and Basement Jaxx & The Earlies.
She recently performed live on Jonathan Ross’s BBC Radio 2 show and was a resident performer at London’s exclusive ‘Masque of the Red Death’ cult theatre production. Bridgette features on forthcoming albums from both Oi Va Voi and the Part Time Heroes, and will be performing her jaw-dropping live set at a whole host of the UK’s music hotspots leading up to the release of her debut single ‘What It Takes/Not Your Style’

Dockers MC
First seen at Latitude festival by the OneTaste crew, this quirky lady who goes by the name Dockers MC had us caught up in her tales of London life and hilarious delivery.
She manages to collect pockets of words together to create a type of ‘flo-etry’ that makes your brain tap its feet and smile at the same time.
Its Dockers’ clarity and hilarity combined that makes her talent immensely entertaining. Delivered in a captivating way that literally has the audience indulging on her every word, and vying to be caught in her dottily dressed eye contact.

Park Bench Poet
Park Bench Poet made his debut appearance at a WoonTaste show at OneTaste West way back in the day

and blew the audience away and then was never to be see again. This stealth poet is somewhat of an inspiration to many artists who have had the pleasure of seeing him perform and is one of the few poets who, in our opinion, successfully makes that dangerous crossover between music and spoken word. The result is uplifting and heartfelt. His band comprises of the same great musicians that Natty plays with and with Park Bench’s free and easy delivery on top, you are guaranteed to have found your theme tunes for the summer 09 within their songs.
