Uplifting, transcendent, jazz-inflected street soul from Manchester
Come and join us as we celebrate two years of Music Spoken Here at The Marr’s Bar with a very special show from British street soul masters Secret Night Gang. Formed by Manchester natives and childhood friends Kemani Anderson and Callum Connell, this 7-piece collective spread their uplifting, transcendent and genre-blending street soul sound through dynamic melodies and jazz-inflected soul prowess, renewing the musical frontiers of the genres.
Handpicked from Manchester’s vibrant live music scene in 2021 by legendary broadcaster DJ producer and label head Gilles Peterson, the band has been championed by a wide range of tastemakers including Rolling Stone, Clash magazine, Jazz FM, Jamie Cullum and Bandcamp just to mention a few. Their eponymous debut album in 2021 on Peterson’s Brownswood label was followed up last year with “Belongs on a Place Called Earth”, selling out shows at Ronnie Scott’s and the Jazz Cafe in London. They have also performed at the most progressive contemporary festivals including North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Primavera Sound, Love Supreme, We Out Here and Cross the Tracks.
Joining Kemani (vocals) and Callum (sax) will be Aaron Wood (trumpet) Nicola Guida (keys) Jack Duckham (guitar) Manny (bass) and Ruben Edwards (drums).
