Beat Bar Presents: Gilles Peterson

Beat Bar are proud to announce a rare Leeds appearance from DJ, record collector, Radio 6 presenter and all-round legend Gilles Peterson. Prepare for a journey through soul, hip-hop, house, Afro, Latin, dubstep, jazz and beyond - all in our intimate basement club.

Gilles Peterson doesn’t really need any introduction. As a long serving Radio 1 DJ, an internationally regarded taste-maker, Brownswood Records label boss and a club DJ of the highest order, Peterson’s services are as much in demand today as they were 25 years ago. Founder of Talkin’ Loud Records with best mate Norman Jay, pioneering DJ on Radio London, Kiss FM and now a Radio 1 staple, the man who invented “acid jazz” as a joke is hardly rivalled in his importance in today’s soulful and eclectic music scene.
