Vertigo ranks among the most original of Czech-Slovak groups. Founded in 2002 by pianist Vojt?ch Procházka, saxophonist Marcel Bárta, bass player Rastislav Uhrik, and drummer Daniel Šoltis, and later joined by trumpeter, Oskar Török and the singing cellist, Dorota Barová, their aim is to find their own musical language. The impetus: jazz. Gradually, through their versatility, they arrived at their own unique sound. Vertigo's music is characterized by unbounded improvisation, creating sophisticated compositions bordering on contemporary classical, as well as refined song forms. To date, they have released six albums, won three Golden Angel awards and been nominated four times. They have played dozens of concerts in both domestic and foreign venues, mainly clubs and festivals. Thanks to their unflagging enthusiasm and indisputable musical qualities, Vertigo has forged an unmistakably original identity within the European music scene.

Please note the the Austrian band HI5 are unable to travel to London due to unforseen circumstances. Vertigo will be performing a full show.
