'These two represent the best of the North. Don’t expect pretension, don’t expect affectation, but do expect lyrics that take very careful aim, plus a bagful of seriously sing-along melodies.' Craig Charles - DJ, BBC Radio 2/6 Music Coming to Shrewsbury this winter, the dynamic duo of Jonathan Scott Watson (Smoove) and singer/songwriter John Turrell will be bringing what they describe as "Northern Funk" - a contemporary fusion of funk, northern soul and electronica.
The story of Smoove & Turrell began in the post millennium North East of England with a group of working class lads and a shared passion for soul.
Initially starting as a trio, there first few tracks were received with a rapturous response and their newfound northern soul style demanded that a Smoove & Turrell live band was formed. So they swiftly filled out their ranks with a crack team of like-minded Geordie musicians.
It was in fellow soul head Craig Charles that they found their first radio champion as he supported them heavily on ‘The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show’ which was a kick-starter for their assault on national radio eventually landing Radio 2 record of the week twice and a playlist on 6 Music.
