BEO BINN, a new musical and artistic collective based in Dingle, are delighted to present Alabama 3 who will perform an acoustic and unplugged set in the Hillgrove on Friday July 30.

Alabama 3, by their own description make "Sweet Pretty Muthafunkin Country Acid House Music".

There isn't three of them, nor are they from Alabama... Brixton, London is where the collective originate.

They achieved global success as their offering 'Woke Up this Morning' became a sensation as the theme tune of TV series The Sopranos. A deal with Geffen followed and Alabama 3 have been touring ever since, enjoying a cult following.

Alabama 3, in full on urban gangster mode, will be accompanied by live visuals and graffiti artwork exhibition. Street artists will be at work spraying live on boards on-site.

As regulars at all the major festivals, this is a major coup for Beo Binn, who enjoyed a supremely successful launch last month, welcoming superstar DJ BBC1's Gilles Peterson to Dingle.

Aside from the coup of landing Alabama 3, Beo Binn are also delighted to announce other upcoming dates with Mick Flannery and full band on July 23 along with a carved stone sculpture exhibition.

Mundy plays on Friday July 16 with a selection of artwork while O' Emperor play on Friday August 20.
