Quickly becoming the nation’s favourite live funk & soul outfit Smoove & Turrell have gained popularity and recognition from some of the UK’s most esteemed music outputs.
The Singles ‘I Can’t Give You Up’, ‘You Don’t Know’, and ‘Beggarman’ from their debut album Antique Soul gave them two BBC Radio 2 Record Of The Week listings, Playlisting’s on BBC 6 Music and rave revues across the board including Craig Charles on his prime time BBC 6 Music Funk and Soul Show.
John Turrell’s incredible blues laden soulful voice has been compared to the Rat Pack via Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder and it’s this powerhouse that works perfectly with a band produced by long time funk and soul figurehead Smoove.
‘A world class producer who has finally found a world class singer and lyricist to work with.’
Having headlined stages of 10,000 fans at Glastonbury Festival to having their first 7” single sell for upwards or £150 on ebay Smoove & Turrell this year will support globetrotting disco megastars Chic featuring original guitarist Nile Rodgers at The Magic Loungeabout Festival.
The band’s current album Eccentric Audio is currently making the rounds and is hotly tipped as the big soul album of this year by DJ’s, Critics and Fans alike.
‘Slow Down’ reached Number One in the iTunes Soul Chart as well as being a breakaway success across European National Radio Stations. The second single ‘Hard Work’ has been playlisted across the UK and Europe.
