It’s Funk Time

RB Funkestra 

We had our monthly installment of the funkiest band in the UK  ’Redtenbacher’s Funkestra’. With this all star line up consisting of Stefan Redtenbacher – bass, bandleader and writer, Mike Sturgis – drums, Eran Kendler – guitar, Rob Taggart – keys, Jim Hunt – tenor saxophone and Sid Gauld – trumpet, its a night that I can only describe as ‘AMAZING’. I could try and talk to you about these guys but who could do it better then the man himself Stefan Retenbacher. Watch this exclusive in-depth interview which talks about all the members and the bands unique way of recording.

We also had the young up and coming Jazz Funk band ‘Dusty Pocket’ supporting RB Funkestra on Friday. These young musicians sound as if they’ve been playing a life time, with high energy tracks and solo’s that will blow you away their a band to keep an eye on, only good things will come of these guys.

Album Of The Week

This week’s album is is the stunning Folk duet ‘The Civil Wars’ with their album ‘Barton Hollow’. The partnership of their vocals is something spacial, they seem to blend into one seamless voice. Along with beautiful guitar and piano parts and lyrics that resonate and tell a story its an album that you MUST listen to, trust me, you wont regret it ;)
