The Haggis Horns



After a decade of performing at some of the hottest venues on the globe, and with every name who has an agenda for all things jazzy, The Haggis Horn’s addictive sound and live force has rumbled every joint imaginable.

Long celebrated as the hottest funk band around, with a sustained tenure of fiery singles and a distinctive northern funk sound, the harmonious seven-piece have conquered Europe preserving a legendary presence, with slots on Kendal Calling, Edinburgh Fringe, Cambridge Jazz Festival, 02 Academy, Leeds, Y Not Festival, etc.

In addition, the globetrotting act has recorded and supported the likes of Jamiroquai, John Legend & The Roots, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Take That, Mark Ronson and Elbow across the world, and received airtime from BBC Radio 2, Radio 6, Reform Radio and Craig Charles Funk & Soul. Combining heavy break-beat, funk, soul, hip-hop and Afro-beat with the virtuosity of trained jazz musicians The Haggis Horns, and the hype for one helluva anticipated drop has only just begun.





In typical STR fashion; opening, closing and buffering our exponential night of funk fusion is Stutter & Twitch’s own… Stutter & Twitch; blending an array of classics old, new, rare and groove, with handpicked tunes that transcend time itself. You'll wonder how you managed to have fun before seeing this duo in action.



The Soul Rays



Boasting an enormous ten-piece line up consisting of a low down dirty brass section, thunderous rhythm section and a trio of fantastic standalone singers. The Soul Rays bring an energetic performance every time they take to the stage.



Since their first gig at the back end of 2014 The Soul Rays have shared a stage with The Mouse Outfit, Akala, The Dub Pistols, Riot Jazz, and an array of other amazing touring acts. The seasoned performers for Fiesta Bombarda, Threshold Festival and Speakeasy Liverpool, hold their own against the professionals of the industry and with an arsenal of excellent tunes at their disposal, there’s simply no stopping their inevitable rise.



Galactic Funk Militia



Offering you the one regime that sounds like great fun, Galactic Funk Milita is exactly what it says on the tin. Unifying hip-hop, dance and funk, these lost soldiers of new music bring you a sound that is truly out of this world, featuring wordsmiths, vocalists and performers at the height of their craft.



Never ones to dress down for a gig, GFM always bring an army of musicians and rappers to each performance, as well as an A game that’s unmatched by their contemporaries. Thumping dance floor smashers explode with horns and electric guitar, while liquid ballads seduce your ears with sensuous synth and exquisite melody. Driven by impulsion, quick-fire rap gymnastics and cosmic vocal power these guys really are out of this world.
