Soft Machine, the fusion band that evolved from its psychedelic beginnings, plays the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre in Hull.
Soft Machine play Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Friday 5 March 2027. It's a single-act bill, with the band as the main feature of the night.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, it's worth knowing where they started. Soft Machine came out of the psychedelic scene of the late sixties, sharing stages with Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Hendrix Experience. From those early days, they moved into jazz-fusion and became one of Europe's best-known groups in that style, and a band that's influenced many others along the way.
