Jamie Finlay is a singer, songwriter, producer and DJ from Manchester. His releases on fiercely independent soul jazz label Wah Wah 45s have garnered rave reviews and established Jamie as a burgeoning figure in the underground UK music scene. His releases have sold as far afield as Japan, Australia, America and all over Europe and have racked up heavyweight DJ support along the way from the likes of Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson and Domu to name but a few!
Critics have long been tipping Finlay as "a name to watch" and have compared his sound to Prince, Plantlife, George Clinton, Al Green and even legendary producers the Mizell Brothers. Jamie's live show, fronted by the man himself on lead vocals, has been tearing up venues across the UK and 2008 saw the band perform a support slot for Roy Ayers at the Jazz Cafe and headliners at Cargo and the Pigalle Club.

absolutely amazing! keep keeping on, my friend. your music is epic! I have had you on my top friends for years now. I love to support local artists and make sure that they get known. I know you're not local, but your music is so good I try to keep spreading the word. I hope that it helps.
We're on a bit of a mission to find some new bands -
....we love working with the ones we have for years but dont you just hate it when promoters put the same bands on each week.... we certainly do which is why there's always been variety on our line ups
