"The Bridge goes off like a bass line in a ballet class...Funk is alive and well and living in London" -(BASE ROCK)
The freshest funk in the UK is found alive and well in THE BRIDGE, a collective of the UKs finest musicians. Made up of Dave Holland, Craig Mathewson, Matt McDonough, Ryan Haberfield and Vinzenz Benjamin the band delivers a unique, popular sound that gets everyone grooving (BBC). Coupled with a amazing ability to attract the most exciting singers from across Europe (including Adeola Ranson, Jane Fraser, Plamen Bonev) and collaborations with the hippest brass sections on the planet THE BRIDGE are undoubtedly the funkiest band in the UK.
Soul Sista Caroline Jay completed her album late last year and is now taking the live show out on the road. Recent gigs include the Cobden Club where Caroline received an overwhelming response. Upcoming gigs include Zigfried underbelly and The Jazz Cafe on May 14th. Come on down for some great soul, you will love it!
