AROUND THE DECADES: 1970’S Feat. SOUL IMMIGRANTS
The seventies are upon us movers and groovers… dust off your platforms and squeeze on those flares, it’s time to point to the sky! Founded 20 years ago by singer/guitarist/composer Emrys Baird, bassist Andrew Kremer, drummer Steve Taylor, guitarist Brian Neil with Indian/UK-producer Nitin Sawhney – we have SOUL IMMIGRANTS.
Classic seventies funk, but with a fresh worldly edge.
Like "Jamiroquai" and "Incognito" the group tries to make their own original, but intelligent Pop music built on a fundament of Soul, Funk - and their ethnic roots (most members are from a foreign background with roots in the Middle East, Brazil and Australia.
Some of the guys have even playedwith James Brown's former horn section The J.B's.
amongst a whole host of other greats.
We’ve picked a good one here we have.
"Jazz/funk fusion at its most sublime." -- Music Week.
"The Soul Immigrants makes multicultural funk grooves at its finest" -- Time Out.
Upstairs at the Ritzy is the lovely bar and exciting venue above the Ritzy Cinema.
We're open 7 nights a week and we pride ourselves on being a well-known & well-loved cultural hub for Brixton.
Our stage show-cases a consistently high standard of live music, from Reggae, Afro-beat & Vintage-Swing, to World-Jazz, Folk, Blues, Balkan & beyond! Plus we bring a monthly comedy feast, open mic, performance, workshops & all sorts of exciting group activities.
