Event Has Passed

Last Show: Thursday 21 st July 2022

PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)

After a rousing performance at PizzaExpress Live last December, Scottish funk 'n' soul supergroup, The Tomorrow Band, team up with special guest - Average White Band legend Hamish Stuart - once again for another evening of foot-tappin', hip-shakin', shoulder-movin' R'N'B grooves. Promoting their new album - the Stuart-produced Inside/ Outside - imagine AWB zooming down the M1 in a Ford Torino, The Crusaders strapped to the roof-rack while Steely Dan booms from the car stereo, and you'll get some idea of what to expect. Made up of musicians from established Scottish groups (Blue Rose Code, Horse, Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, etc.), audiences will hear the new album played in its entirety, plus a set of AWB/ Hamish Stuart-penned classics alongside the funky maestro himself.

"Danceable funk and soul at its best - wicked solos. Down tools, take five, and shimmy"

BBC Radio Scotland

Conceived during the Covid pandemic's first lockdown, The Tomorrow Band are a Scottish-based funk 'n' soul supergroup. 

Made up of musicians from established acts, TTB comprise the likes of multi-award-winning jazz musician - Scottish National Jazz Orchestra saxophonist - Konrad Wiszniewski; former Gilles Peterson percussionist, Fraser Heeps; Horse McDonald bassist Lorna Thomas; and Blue Rose Code guitarist Lyle Watt, to name but a few among their ranks.

Supported by Scotland's National Arts Agency, Creative Scotland, it was nothing short of a miracle the group managed to record their lockdown-inspired debut album - Inside/ Outside - across the autumn/ winter of 2020 amid tight restrictions and the cruel curtailing of musicians' careers.

Produced by award-winning songwriter and musician, Hamish Stuart (Average White Band, Chaka Khan, Paul McCartney Band, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band), two singles from the album - 'Time At Last' and 'Flipside' - were released alongside their accompanying music-videos in Spring 2021.

Launched during last summer's Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival (where the band appeared alongside Stuart), Scottish national newspaper, the Daily Record, described the album as "keeping the funk flame alive", while BBC Radio Scotland referred to their music as "danceable funk and soul at its best".
