Live music : The Power Trio & Emily West

The dynamic neo-soul/funk powerhouse led by award-winning composer Ryan Taylor. Renowned for his keyboard prowess, soulful vocals and keeping a tight band, Ryan channels the spirit of James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Cory Henry, Prince and Jamiroquai as he orchestrates the bands sonic journey. Ryan is joined by bass maestro Alex McGibbon, whose slap bass artistry pays homage to the golden era of the 70s and 80s, and Tom Townsend who has an authenticity and versatility that sets the perfect foundation for their sonic explorations. Expect face-melting solos, infectious grooves and funky nastiness - you dont need a big band, when you got this band!
