Lack of Afro returns to The Bullingdon!
Sunday 23rd November
+ support
Lack of Afro’s biggest ever UK tour has just got bigger! A titan of the UK funk and soul scene for close to two decades, Lack of Afro (AKA Adam Gibbons) recently re-found his love of playing live. With a hugely successful UK tour last year, his first in over 5 years, Lack of Afro announced the 'Love Dealer' tour last month to coincide with the release of the new track 'Make It Shine’. Not content with that, Adam and his band have now extended that run of shows with an additional seven going on sale for this November.
Current single ‘Make It Shine’ is a funk & soul beacon catching the glare of the glitterball: Greg Blackman’s silky-smooth vocals are the cause for hip-hip-hoorays & Saturday night fever - and with its celebratory disco strings and guitars, the pair prove once again that music remains the answer. Premiered on Chris Hawkins’ BBC Radio 6 Music show and with further support from long time champion Craig Charles, the single has also been sat proudly on the Jazz FM playlist for 6 weeks.
The Lack of Afro live show really is something to behold. The band is made up of the same players that stormed the UK in November 2024: drums, keys/Hammond, Brass, guitar and stunning vocals from the force of nature that is Jonah Hitchens and bass, BV’s, saxophone and percussion from the head honcho, Adam Gibbons. Most are classically trained and multi-instrumentalists (which results in some dynamic on-stage swapping without ever missing a beat); the 6-piece band will take you on a journey like no other - whipping through Lack of Afro's huge, well-loved back catalogue and showcasing exactly why both the band and the performance was the talk of the town from each and every show last year.
This summer will see Lack of Afro grace the stage at festivals such as Camp Bestival and Wychwood as well bringing news on the new Lack of Afro album 'Love Dealer' and further singles to come. Come and get involved in what is guaranteed to be an incredibly special year of Lack of Afro.
