Albert and the Lion Alfred Lion The Blue Notes

Very little jazz. Their typical fare is Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club. But over the months and years the big names do build up: Pharoah Sanders, Pat Martino, Eric Alexander, Dave Liebman, Jerry Bergonzi, Kenny Garrett - they've all appeared at BotW fairly recently. I saw The Cookers at Gateshead last year and they were a gas!
