The Power Trio - Saturday 14th September - 2pm to 4.30pm
The dynamic neo-soul/funk powerhouse led by award-winning composer Ryan Taylor. Renowned for his keyboard prowess, soulful vocals and keeping a tight band, Ryan channels the spirit of James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Cory Henry, Prince and Jamiroquai as he orchestrates the band’s sonic journey. Ryan is joined by bass maestro Alex McGibbon, whose slap bass artistry pays homage to the golden era of the ‘70s and ‘80s, and Tom Townsend who has an authenticity and versatility that sets the perfect foundation for their sonic explorations. Expect face-melting solos, infectious grooves and funky nastiness - you don’t need a big band, when you got this band!
Emily West - Sunday 15th September - 2pm to 4.30pm
With an effervescent energy and a beautiful soulful voice, Emily has been wowing audiences at Leopold Square for years, and she is a welcome return in 2024. Turning her hand to jazz, soul, and funk classics with a cracking band behind her, Emily never fails to impress.
