The Coalminers
“The sound they have put down is perfect”
Craig Charles, BBC Radio 2
With their dedication to what they to refer to as “Swamp Soul” this brilliant 6-piece band, with their unique mixture of New Orleans Groove and Funk, bring the rhythm and soul of the deep south (that's Louisiana, not Brighton...) alive. Featuring vocalists Tommy Hare & Amy Bird, drummer Pat Levett (Jon Cleary), pianist Arthur Lea (Bootleg Brass), guitarist Jon Gingell (Earl Thomas), saxophonist Andy Ross and bass player Spencer Brown this highly impressive line-up are guaranteed to raise the roof!
"From time to time I stumble on a band that totally blows me away...The sound they have put down is perfect" Craig Charles - BBC Radio 2; “Tommy Hare...just oozes charisma. He has already sung with members of the Rolling Stones and has a classic rock, soul, blues voice. People came and said ‘whoa, he’s a star’” GetWestLondon; "Riotous uplifting funk bursting at the seams, plus raw powerful vocals. Get down to the Coalminers immediately!" JazzFM
