Franz Von is the highlight of the fringe at Haggler’s Corner. You may know him as the high octane MC of afrofusion kings K.O.G. & The Zongo Brigade, and jazz fusionists TC & The Groove Family. As a central part of Sheffield’s hip-hop, afro and soundsystem culture, he’s a MOBO endorsed wordsmith who’s been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Music, BBCR1Xtra, Rinse FM and Gilles Peterson.
Sunday is folk-themed and will include acoustic sets from local singer/songwriter Lou Gold and jangle-pop group Speedway Star who are inspired by the c86 sound and country music.
