The young production duo of Skillz and Fingaz was the masterminds behind Big Brovaz, a collective that emerged from South London in early 2002. The sound? U.K. garage. Originally, the vocalists and MCs existed separately under Skillz and Fingaz’s Big Brovaz umbrella. But when the compilation Watchin’ You dropped with the different personalities collaborating together over one track, and quickly became an underground hit, the producers wisely rearranged the formula into one distinct group. They capitalized with the debut album Nu Flow and watched as the group became a U.K. sensation, taking home the Best Newcomer Award at the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards in September 2003.

A leading hip-hop group of the early to mid-noughties, Blazin’ Squad lit up stages and screens from 2001 to 2006 with their tight harmonies and rap hits. They were the hub of the party as they brought a new slant to contemporary hip-hop. The boy band had six top ten hits in their prime, spending an impressive 60 weeks in the UK charts. There was no doubting that their repertoire proved hugely popular in bars, clubs and the homes of the British public. A ten-piece hip-hop collective, Blazin’ Squad brought a fresh new style to the genre and the camaraderie and rebellious charm they possessed took them to significant success.

Heatwave, one of the most popular soul bands of the past few decades, with their inimitable  blend of sweet soul grooves and great pop/soul/dance songs are back with a vengeance.

The longest serving member of The Drifters that included the legendary Johnny Moore & Ben E King Roy, Roy G Hemmings has unparalleled stage artistry and consistently illustrates a sophisticated timeless charm in his performances, evocative of when music held a definitive and elegant sort of poetry.
