After a storming gig with Vipertime recently, we’re happy to welcome WorldService Project, featuring Ben Powling on sax duties.
WorldService Project are the leading specialists of Brit ‘punk-jazz’, and are one of the most exported live acts in their field. Their energetic live shows have taken them to festivals across the world, touring in 18 countries and releasing four highly acclaimed studio albums.
Support comes from Yellow Collective Trio, the talented campus crew led by Vanbrugh Jazz’s Faye Thompson.
‘…the loudest and the most entertainingly aggressive jazz one may encounter!…WorldService Project’s fusion includes moments of crystal pure Zappa-like paranoia, dancing funk moods and modern European jazz, mixed up with few but majestic melodic bridges… [they] really stand out because of their wild dynamics, their overwhelming energy and their limitless feel-good vibes… the band’s energy was beyond words and the gig was over under the screams of a fully satisfied audience. A fantastic band with whom you can dance, bang your head or observe, all wrapped up in an exciting, happy package!’

Downhill brass tumbles introduce a disturbed, widescreen mindscape…WorldService Project fill the stereo spectrum. Emotional and aural dynamics justify their assaultive approach.’
Nick Hasted, Jazzwise Magazine – May 2018
‘…tapped its massively power rock jazz attacks. Led by keyboardist and vocalist Dave Morecroft, a witty performer with entertainer qualities, the punchy unit (who is dressed in uniforms but has no doubt about its pacifist attitude) leads the way.’

‘Everything is always different, the ingenuity still seems inexhaustible even after a decade of successful band history and a road trip with over 40 concerts in the US. Depending on your own listening history, many things echo: Frank Zappa, yes, Ian Dury, clear, The Small Faces, The Ex, etc. WSP is not one of them and not everything together, but rather the time not yet collected.’
