Soft Machine - Fri March 5th 2027 8pm-10pm

Soft Machine is one of the greatest UK avant/jazz-rock bands of all time. Their work, from their 
earliest performances as a psychedelic band who were contemporaries of, and shared stages with, 
Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, all the way to being one of Europe's best 
known 'fusion' groups, has influenced several generations of bands, and continues to be name
checked by today's hip experimentalists. 
Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the late 
1960’s, the band’s spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which it freely avoids being pigeon 
holed and can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia to free 
improvised jazz-rock to ambient loop music, continues to make it both unique and totally 
contemporary.  
Soft Machine released their latest album ‘Thirteen’ on 13 March 2026.
