2 x 45 mins sets from the band with DJ Theodore from the Block Party spinning some vinyl in between to keep those feet grooving.
This funk soul band is a lineup of potentially Birmingham’s best musicians, creating a groove that captivates an audience.
Founded in February 2012 in the back streets of Harborne, the band is a coming together of mainly two groups who have collaborated in sessions with each other over the years as part of the music fraternity around Birmingham and the West Midlands.
This amazing group, whose CV covers a wealth of musical styles and seasoned collaborations, promises to wow listeners with a special experience of raw, talented performances. With appearances at major festivals and top quality venues, the band has a wealth of experience and all cut their teeth with established musicians and collectives in many genres of music, bringing these influences into Lucas D & The Groove Ghetto’s performance.
