“To say, Smoove & Turrell are the greatest modern Soul act in to emerge from the U.K would be an epic understatement!” Craig Charles
Smoove & Turrell
Newcastle’s finest Smoove & Turrell are back with their third studio album Broken Toys. Their rise through the ranks of British soul has been nothing but unstoppable. Hitting the road again with their motley crew of Geordie reprobates Smoove & Turrell’s 7 piece band will once again be gaining yet more of a loyal fan base both here in the UK and in Europe & the wider world.
“It’s a badly kept secret that a lot of people believe John’s heading for future stardom – with a voice with the timbre of the greats of Soul music. Who could deny that? For Smoove and Turrell, their time is coming, and soon.” Snowboy
“The future of Soul in my book “ DJ Andy Smith
“A winning mix of ebullient acid-jazz grooves and mahogany-toned vocals” The Independent
Boca 45
Always ready to hit the clubs, armed with a heaving box of 7” vinyl. His aim? As it has been on all his global travels and international DJ shows, to whip crowds into a frenzy with his crazy collection of vintage vinyl gems. His hugely popular ‘Boca Plays his 45s’ mix series comes close to capturing this magic, and a DJ in his element. Playing 45x45s in under an hour, he touches on vintage breaks and grooves from the history of funky music with a deft blend of disco, early rap, soul, and of course, all that goodtime funk!
Three Kings High
One of The Lanes’ favourite bands are back and supporting Smoove & Turrell for the second time.
Hailing from Bristol, Three Kings High is the sound of your record collection, mashed up into an electric live band experience. From a hip hop background, riff heavy indie band Three Kings High combine powerful melodies with intelligent delivery to make an original but familiar sound.
Inspired and influenced by Bristol’s diverse musical culture, the Kings are putting their own stamp on the city and are showcasing this fresh new sound around the country, leaving a tidal wave of energy behind them wherever they go.
They have supported the likes of Huey Morgan, The Milk, The Apples, The Pharcyde & Craig Charles.
Moneyshot
The ever-eclectic DJ Moneyshot has won a mad decent following for his killer mixtapes, bubbling live sets, and party-smacking tunes. He’s an all round good egg, and jaw-droppingly nimble ‘pon the decks. His style is mad tight, and best described as “dancefloor beats, booties and bass with hip-hop skills,” if you ever find yourself in a situation needing it. A stupidly talented mixer capable of melding MOR gems, Broadway showtunes and hip-hop breaks, he thankfully also never forgets that a DJ’s primary role is to get people dancing. And he will certainly do that.”
Sir Funk
A joyous, funked up, hundred miles an hour, pleasure driven explosion of energy that only fools and the foolish would miss. Expect to get sweaty, expect to shake and to do your thang!
