U.K. Funk All Stars

Gigs so far: The Jazz Cafe, London; Stratford Circus, London; The Dome Brighton; The Barbican London; Soul Britannia; BBC 4; T.V. appearances followed by U.K. tour.

At a time when the live UK scene cross-pollinated wildly from jazz and rock to R&B. This special Brighton Festival session brings together some of the original musicians of the day and features a reunion of founder members of the much sampled Brixton-based rasta funk renegades CYMANDE. Also featuring sets from UK legends Carol Grimes, Linda Lewis, Average White Band's Hamish Stuart, & FBI's Root Jackson. An essential celebration of an often overlooked era in British music.

Brothers On The Slide CD

It's a familiar scenario: an R&B scene, dominated by the commercial and creative clout of America, in which British acts struggle to find a place and a distinctive voice. Brothers On The Slide: The Story Of UK Funk (Sanctuary)*** harks back thirty years, and the parallels are unmissable. There are those who, at least briefly, match the Americans at their own game (Cymande, The Equals); those whose mimicry reveals their limitations (Jabba, Kokoma); and yet others who by accident or design come up with something identifiably their own (Carol Grimes, Linda Lewis).

The Shout

The Shout (Time Out Classical Artist of the Year 2004) is a unique choir. Drawn from as many musical paths as there are singers, their individualism is the very key to their power as an ensemble, and their freedom in expressing their different personalities whilst exercising incredible musical precision makes them compelling to experience.
