Testimonials

What people have said about Groove Digger's live show:

"Biting Meters/JBs-style street grooves from this kicking seven-piece jazz funk band that features hard blowing Jackie McLean-ish tenorist Telfer, Courtney Pine/Tom Jones associated pianist Jerome, and former Roots Manuva drum ace Sophie Alloway."


Time Out Magazine / London

"Groove Digger were the first band to play at Parkroadpilot (a London based interdisciplinary arts event/ party) back when it started in 2005. They proved to be a deeply funky transition from formal performance to party like behaviour! In fact, they were such a hit amongst the dance fiends in the audience, they continue to return again and again to energise and inflict irresistably groovy, soulful tunes upon us and keep us boogieing all night!
I can't recommend groove digger enough!"

Rebecca Bogue (Curator/organiser www.parkroadpilot.org)
