Welcome all you funk brothers and soul sistas to:

Late Night Funk Club: The Bongolian + Nathan Worm (DJ)

Featuring:
- The Bongolian (Bongo-Fuzz Hammond Hero)
- DJ Nathan Worm (Worm Disco Club Head Honcho)
- Sat 8th July / 10:30pm-3am
- The Lanes, Nelson Street

- The Bongolian -

For all you Late Night Funk Cats with a passion for percussion, we’re psyched to present Mind-Blowing Bongo Maestro - THE BONGOLIAN!

Drawing on influences of Funk, Latin, Soul and Jazz, Nasser Bouzida (also front man of cult Hammond heroes Big Boss Man) blends elements of grinding percussion and heavy bongo rhythms. Our hero - along with his explosive 4-piece ensemble - is armed with a bank of vintage synthesizers and a legion of heavy grooves in a wildly eclectic fusion of Funk, Soul, B-Boy Breaks, Jazz and Sci-Fi Boogaloo!

Radio support includes Gideon Coe, Cerys Matthews, Nemone & Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music, featuring twice on the station's ' Recommends Day'. Gary Crowley (XFM, 6 Music) is also a big fan.

"A Latin-flavoured jazz-funk odyssey" Q MAGAZINE
"Forget your preconceptions, this is the REAL incredible bongo band" CLASH
"Gorgeously psychedelic" 4½ SUBBA-CULTCHA
"Mightily funky, Hammond driven bongo rhythms... part mod, part Sergio Mendes, very swingin'..." TIME OUT

- Nathan Worm (DJ) -

Worm Disco Club Head Honcho Nathan Worm is a serious music head with deep cross-genre knowledge; if you've listened to any of the Worm DJ mixes all over t'internet then most likely its Nathan who has compiled it.

Natha’s 'E-Worm' shows on SWU.FM radio are garnering legendary status for their genre-hopping, groovy directions and we're super excited to have him play round ours!
Expect the punchiest, grooviest funk, soul, disco, latin and afro from across the globe from this renowned crate-digger.
