It’s hard to over-emphasize the role played by Adrian Sherwood in the development of underground British music over the last four decades.

Over the years, the influential On-U-Sound Records founder has worked with artists including Primal Scream, Depeche Mode, The Pop Group, The Slits, The Fall and Cabaret Voltaire. For his live performance at No Bounds, Sherwood will be working with Cabs collaborator Nick Cope, a pioneering video scratch performer known for providing visuals for the legendary Sheffield band’s performances. He’ll be recapturing the spirit of those halcyon days during Sherwood’s must-see performance.
