Absuma

Absuma is a high-energy music collective from Littlehampton, blending folk rock and psychedelic influences into a sound uniquely their own. Led by the passionate and charismatic Simon Keet—the band delivers uplifting, joyful performances fuelled by rich female harmonies reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and The B-52s.

Known for their immersive live shows, Absuma has built a loyal following as the resident band at Chichester’s underground tunnel venue, HAVANA. Their first ticketed gig was a sellout, and they’ve earned airplay on RADIO REVERB, further cementing their status as one of the South Coast’s most exciting live acts. Their DIY ethos runs deep—everything from handmade merch to their relentless passion for crafting authentic music reflects their dedication to artistry and craftsmanship.

Absuma’s music is all about bringing people together. Whether performing in intimate venues or on festival stages, their infectious energy creates a shared experience that lingers long after the last note. Their live performances, filled with soaring harmonies, intricate instrumentation, and an undeniable sense of joy, are an invitation to lose yourself in the moment. With an ever-growing YouTube presence, they continue to reach new audiences while staying true to their roots.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how to say ‘Absuma,’ it’s AB – SUE – MAR. The name carries a deep family legacy—Simon’s gypsy grandfather, Abraham, named his house after himself, his daughter Susan, and his wife Maureen.
