The glorious team at Whiskers have given us a home so that we can all come together under the banner of original music. It's all about bands supporting each other, building a community and giving more than you take. Together we can make this a success... separated we'll all just sit at home streaming cartoons and eating crisps...

The original music scene in Cornwall has been on its arse so this presents us all with an opportunity to play in our home county, hang out with other musicians and politely rail against the rancid entropic claw of covers and tribute acts

-----------

Jazz Mango, also known as George Murphy is a DJ & Producer, originally from the Merseyside, but has been living in Cornwall for the past 10 years.

He began producing deep soulful house music, but has now started using his musical skills to produce more upbeat Jazzy / Jackin’ House music.

In the studio, he makes his own trumpet, synth and drum samples to get that distinct Jazzy & Jackin’ house vibe.

Jazz Mango has been signed to Valencian Label “TheBasmentDiscos” & British Label “Tropical Disco Records”.

He was featured on Traxsource and Beatport at the beginning of summer 2021.

He also just reached top 10 in the Nu/Disco charts for one of his tracks on “Hive Label” called “Juicy Life”.

Jazz Mango will not only mix, but improvise trumpet and percussion during his sets. This gives the audience more live entertainment rather than the standard DJ set.

Jazz Mango has recently just performed at the world famous “Snowbombing” festival this year.
