Horace X formed in 1993, combining Mark's infectious dance rhythms with Eastern European
fiddle tunes. They played their first gig soon after, sharing a bill with virtuoso Bulgarian jazzer,
Ivo Papasov, and went on to play a host of festivals, including Glastonbury Jazz World stage, the following summer.

Since then they have appeared at festivals and venues from London to Lubliajana, including:

Sidmouth International Festival, Glastonbury Avalon, Megadog Total Eclipse, Melkweg World Roots, Terschelling's Oerel, Towersey,
Strawberry Fair, Phoenix:Turning up the Beat, Off the Tracks, On the Edge, Big Day Out, Bracknell Festival, Penybryn Seswyn Fawr, Presteigne Sheep Music Festival....to name but a few

Horace X have shared bills with The Bhundu Boys, Transglobal Underground, Asian Dub
Foundation, Banca de Gaia, Baka Beyond, Fundamental and the like. They have recorded three
C.D.s, the first of which was put forward for nomination for the 1995 Mercury prize. Notoriously
indescribable, Horace X venture ever further into un-chartered waters playing a uniquely total
global mix. Joining forces with Horace X, Quincy Bones and Simbletons' ragga-chat vocals ride
across irresistible dance beats a euphoric mix of sequenced and live sounds: Drums, Bass,
Samples, keyboards, Asian/Celtic/Cajun fiddle, Free and Funky horns.............all this and a
stunning Ultra Violet Stage Show .
