The Wave Machine - Land Begins. Land Ends. UK Tour

Our series of live gigs at Dawkes are stoked to welcome The Wave Machine as he cruises through Maidenhead on his Land Begins. Land Ends. A live looping journey inspired by surf, travel and life on the road.

This October, Angus Trott (The Wave Machine) embarks on a unique 10-day motorbike tour from John O'Groats to Land's End, carrying all of his musical equipment on the bike and performing shows across the UK before returning home to Cornwall. Along the journey, he'll document life as an independent touring musician through film, photography and storytelling, supported by a growing community of friends, fans and grassroots music supporters helping share the adventure as it unfolds.

What to Expect

Blending live looping guitar, bass, trumpet and percussion into surf inspired originals created entirely live on stage, Land Begins. Land Ends. captures the rhythm of the road, the energy of the ocean and the spirit of independent touring. 

The Dawkes Music show will also raise funds for Brass for Africa, supporting music education and life-skills programmes for young people across sub-Saharan Africa.
