SMOOVE & TURRELL
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. Smoove had met keyboardist Mike Porter through the local music scene in Newcastle and recruited him for his ‘Smoove Live’ project for the label Acid Jazz. Around Mike’s house one day they overheard a neighbour singing sublime melodies in his garage with friends, which turned out to be none other than a young John Turrell practising in a band called ‘The Stevies’. After a couple of further sessions, scouting him, they finally knocked on the door and had a chat and hit it off straight away.

Their debut single I Can’t Give You Up became an underground Northern Soul classic, selling out instantly and cementing their reputation, leading to the formation of a full live band and the release of their debut album, Antique Soul, on Jalapeño Records. Heavy early support from Craig Charles propelled the band onto national radio, earning BBC Radio 2 Record of the Week accolades, multiple playlists and strong BBC 6 Music backing.

Since then, Smoove & Turrell have built a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless touring and a run of critically acclaimed albums blending soul, funk, disco, electronica and socially conscious songwriting rooted in working-class Northern life. Their sixth album, Stratos Bleu, topped the UK Dance Album Chart and broke the UK Top 40, while 2023’s Red Ellen continued their dancefloor-focused, hopeful yet hard-hitting sound.

CASINO
Casino are the b*stard sons of Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. A riot of classic Motown and Stax mixed with their own contemporary, modern take on northern soul, funk and a strong streak of fresh, danceable, irresistible Liverpool melody.

Over the past year, the band have built a reputation as one of the best emerging live bands around, impressing on tour with The Zutons, CVC, Lightning Seeds and Jamie Webster, as well as top performances at Isle of Wight & Ynot Festival. Their songs have already been championed at radio by the likes of BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and Radio X.

Embrace this new sound of Liverpool cosmic Soul. A most rare combination of a band with tunes, melodies, danceable songs, a stormin’ rhythm section and a voice which could easily have been born in Muscle Shoals. Inspired in the Mississippi swamps and backwoods, and now delivering hot and jivin’, brawling melodies of indie soul from the North West of England. Surrender to the rhythm of classic R n’ B southern style, rock n roll with class.
