SUMMARY:TC & The Groove Family + Support
DESCRIPTION:TC & The Groove Family are a 10-piece collective whose music celebrates the coming together of cultures\, and the unity that music can provide for everyone. Driven by drummer Tim Cook\, their live shows are powerful and dynamic\, exploring grooves and genres from the UK and around the world\, including afrobeat\, breakbeat\, jungle\, jazz and highlife. \nThe band have played alongside afro-fusion legends K.O.G & The Zongo Brigade and London jazzers Yussef Dayes\, Pyjaen and Cykada at shows in across the UK. In 2021\, the band performed as part of We Out Here’s online festival showcase\, before blowing the roof off of the Chai Wallah stage at Shambino in August. \nDebut album ‘First Home’ built upon the success of early singles\, finding support from Jamz Supernova and Craig Charles on BBC Radio 6 and Emily Pilbeam on BBC Introducing West Yorkshire\, as well as being playlisted on Jazz FM. The band recorded the album with Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist\, ONIPA)\, and released it in June 2022 through Worm Discs ISnazzback\, corto.alto). Summer 2022 saw them make a name for themselves on the UK festival circuit\, with appearances at Glastonbury\, We Out Here\, Greenman and Kendal Calling topped with a crowning headline set on the Chai Wallah stage at Shambala. \n \nSupport comes from Ambiere \nAmbient fairy tale sounds with big beats. \nAmbiere explores the light and shade of life through her music. There isn’t a specific genre to best\ndescribe this artist’s work. However\, If you could imagine Fred again\, meeting up with Florence Welch\nand going to a 90’s rave ( after they’ve meditated) then maybe that’s the best way. Although some may say that ‘ethereal dance/ electronic’ can also spring to mind. \n— \nStanding show.
