Forty4 at 4.40pm
Forty4 are a unique band hailing from the north-west of England playing their own brand of R&B and Funk. Formed in 2007, the band create a sound they describe as ‘Rhythm & Groove’ music which can be found on their debut 10-track CD, ’44 Minutes’. A highly acclaimed debut, the album has caught the attention of Paul Jones who has featured it on his on the prime-time evening BBC Radio 2 show.
Drawing from a rich heritage of Americana, Funk, Swing, R&B and produced by Pete Brown (son of the great Joe Brown, brother of sultry songstress Sam), this recording captures the band’s old-school vibe, also prominent throughout their live show.
Rather than follow fashion, Forty4 have nurtured their style into a music rarely heard on the UK live circuit, filling a gap in the market for new music enthusiasts, everywhere.
Forty4 are:
Neil Partington – Guitar/Vocals
Paul Starkey – Guitar
Glen Lewis – Keyboards
Bill Price – Bass Guitar
Nick Lauro – Drums
Bare Bones Boogie Band at 3.20pm
Makuini & The Hoodoo Men at 2.00pm
