Brand New Heavies – Boiler Shop, Newcastle 16.11.2024
Co-founders Simon Bartholomew and Andrew Levy met at school aged eleven in the 1970s, where they bonded over James Brown's funk material. Brand New Heavies comes from a liner note off a James Brown single where Brown declared himself the "Minister of New Super Heavy Funk".
On Saturday night The Brand New Heavies brought their sizzling hot blend of jazz-funk along with their funky floor show to the Symphony Hall, Birmingham, to celebrate 35 years since the release of their debut single and to showcase their latest greatest hits album, Never Stop… The Best Of.
