Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival is located in the idyllic surroundings of Moseley Park, Birmingham: for ten years now, they’ve been inviting international legends and breakthrough artists from the worlds of jazz, funk and soul to descend upon the park for a celebratory programme of music, dance, and more. This year, they’ve invited The Brand New Heavies to play a main-stage headline set on Saturday 13th.
“We are delighted to be welcoming The Brand New Heavies to Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul for the first time. We asked fans to request a band, and The Brand New Heavies were one of the most requested artists, so we’re expecting the crowd to be really up for this one. Plus it’s our 10th anniversary – roll on July!”
John Fell, Mostly Jazz
Aside from The Brand New Heavies, the festival’s organisers have crafted a stellar line-up that includes huge names like The Jacksons and Burt Bacharach, contemporary trend-setters Khruangbin and Ibibio Sound Machine, alongside rising artists such as jazz/soul vocal talent Alice Auer.
The Heavies are premiering new music later this year, so keep your ears peeled.
