Playing a massive repertoire from soul and Motown classics to 70s/80s funk and disco floor fillers at the same time being able to remix and mashup New and old tunes on the fly. This quickly gets the crowd noticing they’re in for something special musically.

Mike with his incredible lyrical melodic inventions, Tom covering three instruments signing two tunes mashed together and a world class percussion and beat masterclass from Ross Higginson the trio remain as the most unique and talented outfit in the city
