We are delighted to be presenting you once again with one of our favourite bands and collectives, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Sharon’s raw power, rhythmic swagger, moaning soulfulness, and melodic command set her firmly alongside Tina Turner, James Brown, Mavis Staples, and Aretha as a fixture in the canon of soul music. The Dap Kings are by far the most accomplished funk outfit in the world right now. Combined their years of steady output has seen them and their Daptone label position itself as the bastion for fun music in this millennium.
If you want to be in with a chance to win tickets for yourself and a friend to what is going to be the best gig for miles…
