Hey! Come check out The Impellers (Freestyle Records) delivering heavy heavy funk at Koko in London on 6th of June with Hexstatic & The Nextmen. Kwality!
The 50th anniversary of Tamla Motown in January has focused minds again on just how great their 1960s output was. Meanwhile the lynchpin of their great rival Stax down in Memphis - Booker T - is out and about promoting a new album. This music never goes away, and audiences always move their feet to it. This life-affirming soulful wave of Black Dance Music came to define the best that pop can offer. Grown men and women still go dewy-eyed at the mere thought of those hits.
And so do we, so we’ll be playing the best in Tamla Motown, Stax Records, club soul, & girl group songs from the period, all off original vinyl 45s. Your wax spinners on June the 5th will be Smart Phil & Mickee.
Come down and celebrate the beat, in a fabulous bijou West London bar that’s a doddle to get to and from. Double Shots all round!
....also we've just been confirmed for Beach Break LIVE and Secret Garden Party this Summer! Roll on Sunshine!
Upcoming Gigs in May 16th May - Sticky Fungus, Staines 17th May - Outside Gemini Bar (on the Beach), Brighton 22nd May - Global Cafe (LIVE CD LAUNCH PARTY), Reading 23rd May - White Hart - Basingstoke 24th May - Haywards Heath Jazz Festival, Sussex
