About this Event

The Whirlybirds fronted by multi award winning Stevie Watts (Secret Affair, Steve Winwood), Grant Allardyce (drums) and Olly Knight Smith (guitar) deliver a powerful blend of vintage funk, and deep soul drenched grooves driven by the unmistakable sound of the Hammond organ. The UK based trio feature powerhouse vocals from Shanade. Together they make music which is infectious, heartfelt and seriously funky!
