Made up of 1st generation Brits whose parents immigrated from West Africa and Ethiopia, they incorporate genres like funk and RnB but are known as a jazz group, part of a fertile scene that includes other acts like Ezra Collective. Tony Stamp visited the venue before the show and caught up with all seven members.
