The Brand New Heavies are pioneers of British acid jazz - a band that shaped the soundtrack of the '90s and carried it into the present with style, skill and serious groove. Formed in Ealing in 1985 and inspired by 70s funk and jazz-fusion, they emerged with a sound that felt both classic and new, quickly gaining ground on the UK and US charts.
With 16 UK Top 40 singles and over 2.5 million records sold globally, their influence runs deep. Tracks like “Dream On Dreamer”, “Midnight at the Oasis” and “Never Stop” became modern standards, while their 1994 platinum album Brother Sister remains a landmark in British soul.
The arrival of American vocalist N’Dea Davenport in the early ‘90s brought international attention, and their 1992 album Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1 saw them collaborating with some of the biggest names in hip-hop - well before the term “genre-crossing” became industry jargon.
More recently, they’ve performed with the London Concert Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, marking over three decades of music with a sold-out show that reflected both heritage and momentum. Angela Ricci now leads vocals with powerful presence, continuing the band’s legacy of frontwomen with range and flair.
Known for their razor-sharp rhythm section and lush horn arrangements, their live shows are a masterclass in groove. And at Boisdale of Canary Wharf, you’ll catch it all in a setting made for music lovers - intimate, atmospheric and built for sound.
