The BQ Band With Special Guest: Sumudu

This fantastic "Groove" gig features the band of guitarist Bobby Quigley, a formidable young musician who includes work with the likes of Pete Ray Biggin, Imaani and Katie Leone on an impressive cv. The music will be an infectious blend of Groove and Jazz featuring a selection of classic groove standards with the occasional original thrown in for good measure. As would be expected, the rest of the band is made up of some of the finest musicians on the scene, the remarkable Ross Stanley (Deodato, Simply Red) on keyboards, groove powerhouse Neville Malcolm (Billy Cobham, Tom Jones, Jack DeJohnette, Incognito, Us3) on bass and the terrific Rod Youngs (Gil Scott-Heron, Natalie Cole) on drums. Bobby's special guests this evening will be the wonderful singer Sumudu who includes work with the likes of Rod Stewart, Jamie Cullum, Mike Lindup from Level 42 and most recently the iconic singer/songwriter Van Morrison, which has put her at the forefront of the UK vocal scene. And watch out for a special appearance from Award winning cellist Tasya Kelly (Escala, Robbie Williams)! Be sure to attend what promises to be a “Groove” extravaganza. sumudu.com
