Stevie Williams Soul Trio

Stevie Williams Soul Trio - Outrageously tight three piece with soulful vocals from Jon Kenzie, Stevie's virtuosic bass playing and Eryl Roberts time keeping ! So funky they should be arrested! Guaranteed to do the business.

Box Groove Coolers

The Box Groove Coolers are an exciting three piece outfit specialising in addictively funk and jazz grooves. Although their music is inspired by a wide range of artists they are especially influenced by the Leeds nu-funk scene by way of artists such as ‘The New Mastersounds' and ‘The Haggis Horns'. The Box Groove Coolers are an out and out dance band and an exciting new funky outfit not to be missed.

The Magic Beans

The Magic Beans’ magic lies in the relaxed, natural atmosphere that these three fine musicians – and their natural, acoustic sounds effortlessly capture. Their hand-picked selection of songs dips into jazz, country, pop and soul, and the spontaneous arrangements are easy to listen to without being easy-listening, and spacious without sounding exposed. A harmonious band emanating a sense of musicality, facility and fun. http://zoechiotis.com/audio.html
