Aba Shanti-I — In Session Hidden Beach Festival 2026 T he Oval, Hasting The mighty Aba Shanti-I returns to Hastings with the full sound system, bringing an evening of deep roots, spiritual upliftment and unmistakable vibration to Horntye Park Sports Complex. Recognised worldwide as one of the most influential figures in sound system culture, Aba Shanti-I has been carrying roots, culture and consciousness through sound for over three decades. A resident sound system at Notting Hill Carnival since 1993 — the same year he was named No.1 DJ in the world by DJ Magazine — Aba has played across the UK and internationally, from Brazil to Japan, Mexico to the US. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Junior Delgado, Yabby You and Prince Lincoln Thompson, Aba’s sound weaves classic roots reggae and dub with his signature use of reverb, delay and live effects — creating a deep, immersive and unmistakable sonic language. From his early days as Jasmine Joe on Jah Tubby’s sound system, through the founding of the University of Dub, to producing music with Blood Shanti and the Shanti-Ites on the Falasha label, Aba Shanti-I’s work has helped shape, protect and elevate sound system culture as a living tradition.

Hayley Savage - Album Launch Welcome to the Hayley Savage Album Launch! Join us for an unforgettable night of music and celebration as Hayley debuts her latest album. This rare full band show will feature artists from the album: Evan Jenkins on drums, Ruby Colley on violin and Lizzie Rafati and Victoria Howarth on vocal harmonies. Performing with Hayley for the first time is James Davidson (Samaki) on Bass and Bonj (Wytch Pycknyk) on lead guitar. Don't miss out on this special occasion to witness the magic of her album coming to life on stage. Mark your calendars and secure your spot for a night to remember! Americana UK says it's 'intimate and authentic.... an album that lingers, not just in melody but in feeling - long after the final note fades.' 8/10**** Hayley Savage Hayley is a British folk singer and guitarist with distinctively pure vocals, understated charm and deeply personal songwriting. At the age of 29, Hayley moved to The Netherlands where she began writing the album and performing in Den Bosch with the support of her local record store. She then moved to Brighton where she formed Americana duo Grand Palace, and in 2016 she returned to her hometown, Hastings, where she made her first home recordings ‘All Along the Railings’ ep and in 2021 she performed at The De La Warr Pavilion supporting ‘This is the Kit’. With 15 years between now and her debut ‘The Daisy Room’, this album is more than a break of silence. It’s an explosion of expression both musically and lyrically and a sure sign that Hayley is back, with her full creative spirit intact. The new album by Hayley Savage is a collection of songs written between 2011 – 2021. It’s a mixture of Folk, Americana and Indie with a minimalist and organic production. Special guest opening act: Kristin McClement Kristin McClement is a singer and a songwriter. She plays guitar and piano and is part of the Willkommen Collective, an independent music label based in Brighton. “Her album, The Wild Grips, is an extraordinary collection of mournful yet beautifully crafted and poetic songs, with McClement’s deep resonant voice dominant throughout.” Brighton Music Blog Information Source: Hayley Moore | eventbrite
