Ooft! We have bagged a beauty for part II of our Year of Funk… None other than Scottish funk ‘n’ soul sextet from Edinburgh, the amazing James Brown Is Annie. Described by presenter and soul music aficionado Stuart Cosgrove as ‘one of Scotland’s top bands of the moment’, JBiA serve up an irresistible brand of full-fat, calorie-laden, whipped-up funk ‘n’ soul.
They met in a piano bar, rehearse next to a sex shop, and take their name from an Eddie Murphy SNL sketch. Both JBiA albums were produced by original members of funk legends Average White Band, Molly Duncan & Hamish Stuart. They have also been chosen for BBC Radio Scotland ‘Single Of The Week’ for “Get Up To Get Down”. Presenter and soul music aficionado, Stuart Cosgrove describes the sextet as “one of Scotland’s top bands of the moment”. As well as being chosen to perform at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, alongside AWB as the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2018’s flagship show, they have regularly sold out venues across the UK including in London.

“Proof that Scotland has the funk.” The Herald

Letham Nights…
Letham Nights began in December 2008. Our vision was to bring high quality music to our village hall and provide a stage for local talent. At the same time we wanted to work towards creating a zero carbon village hall. 8 years and over 80 acts later, we have drawn in an audience which now averages nearly 100 in our 120-capacity hall. We have supported hall improvements so that we now have double glazing, better insulation, renewed wiring and a new efficient boiler. The events are renowned for their high quality music and the unique, warm and friendly atmosphere. We really do put on THE BEST SMALL GIGS IN THE WORLD!
