Project Smok at The Hub listing on Broadway Baby

The neo-trad trio brings its innovative blend of Scottish traditional music and pop influences to The Hub.

Formed in 2017, Project Smok takes an excitingly nonconformist approach to Scottish traditional music. The neo-trad trio of Ali Levack, Ewan Baird and Pablo Lafuente combines piping, bodhran and guitar. Known for blending trad music with pop influences, the group does away with any perceived limits of genre from the first note.

The award-winning group draws inspiration from all over " from indie pop acts such as The 1975 and Bon Iver to more time-honoured, West Coast styles of playing.

Their debut album Bayview has cemented their place as a young, energetic band at the forefront of the traditional music scene.

The Hub Series is supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown together with Flure Grossart

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
