The Funk & Soul Weekender
Camber Sands Holiday Camp – East Sussex, England
Respected London event promoters Soundcrash are proud to announce legendary funk, soul and jazz composer ROY AYERS as a headliner of their very first UK festival The Funk & Soul Weekender, to take place at Camber Sands Holiday Camp in May 2016.
From Funk to Soul, to Latin and Afrobeat to Northern Soul, Ska and Swing a touch of the right Hip Hop & House and everything in between, this new event on the festival calendar is an intimate affair, with a capacity of 3000, created for an audience that truly loves its music.
Soundcrash programmer and founding director Rob Waller explains the event is in response to a renewed public interest in the funk and soul genres, with record numbers of fans attending shows for established legends such as George Clinton, Quantic, Tony Allen and Tinariwen. There’s also strong and growing interest in a very vibrant new soul scene with artists such as Taylor McFerrin, Andrew Ashong, Haitus Kaiyote and Andreya Triana at the helm.
Other names added to the line up today include 9-piece dub band Gentleman’s Dub Club, American genre-defying electro DJ Afrika Bambaataa, Eglo Records’ Fatima (plus Eglo Band), and many more. These names join an already impressive bill that includes celebrated names in Funk and Soul; British soul singer Alice Russell; Tru Thoughts’ Quantic, and carnival legend Norman Jay.
As people who regularly enjoys the gigs that Soundcrash put on throughout the year we can’t wait to see what their festival is saying. The lineup is a lot so you won’t want to miss this one. This festival is set in the picturesque Camber Sands holiday camp in East Sussex, a mere hour’s train journey from London. Chalet accommodation (catering for 4-6 people) is included in the price of festival tickets.
