The Firestation

Two of the very best bands proven to get you on your feet in Berkshire join forces with quite simply one of the very best bands to get you dancing in the world in a three-band-bill that is designed for one purpose.. To get the people of Windsor dancing!

Headlining will be the legendary Souljazz Orchestra who have been entertaining countless thousands around the globe since 2002. Comprised of blaring majestic horns, dusty vintage keyboards and fierce earthquake percussion, The Souljazz Orchestra is redefining world groove music with its own potent blend of Funk, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, African and Latin Music.

Founded by a group of Canadian musicians who were united by a common allegiance to the grittier side of rare groove music. The Souljazz Orchestra is a six piece juggernaut of spectacular musicianship and serious funk. This UK mini tour comes off the back of the release of their highly acclaimed album ‘Manifesto’, a band that know a thing or two about getting a room up and dancing, it is no exaggeration to say that The Souljazz Orchestra are the best in the business.

Joining The Souljazz Orchestra will be two of the funkiest bands in Berkshire, The Wheels and The Up Front Band. Both are very well know on the local live circuit and are beginning to make waves further afield.

The Wheels are a funky five-piece who produce some seriously soulful sounds, with a firm grounding in world music, Funk and Soul there are nods to Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Hendrix and Radiohead making for an eclectic but highly danceable blend.

Formed 10 years ago The Up Front Band are regulars on the Slough circuit and their powerful mix of Funk, Soul and Reggae has few equals. Infectious grooves layered over funky tunes have gained them a devoted live following and won them many headline slots at some of the biggest community events in the area.
