Billy Fuller (beak>) Live at Zahara

Billy Fuller, the bassist known for his work with Beak>, Portishead, and Massive Attack, is bringing his solo project to Brighton this summer. Following the pause of Beak> in 2025, Fuller spent time in his studio working on his debut solo album, Fragments, which was released on 3 April 2026. He will be performing live at Zahara on 11 June 2026, in an event organised by Crosstown Concerts.

Fuller has described the album as a collection of cinematic soundscapes, focusing on bass-driven compositions rather than traditional song structures. During the performance, he will be using a variety of instruments, including bass, drums, keyboards, and synthesisers. The album itself features 16 tracks, such as the opener 'Rummer' and 'Tailgates & Ratchet Straps', a song that reflects on his perspective regarding the current state of affairs in the UK. In interviews about the creative process, Fuller has noted that his approach is centred on emotion, aiming to move away from conventional arrangements.

The concert will take place at Zahara, located at 77 East Street, Brighton, BN1 1NF. Doors are scheduled to open at 19:00, with the event concluding at 22:00. Please note that this is an 18+ event. Tickets are currently priced at approximately £22.50 for standard entry, though it is worth keeping in mind that these prices can fluctuate. Given the nature of the music—experimental and indie-leaning—it is likely to appeal to those interested in the alternative electronic scene. It is a straightforward opportunity to see a musician who has been a fixture in the Bristol and UK music scene for years, now presenting his own independent work.
