Expect funk, soul and groove from founding members Andrew Levy and Simon Bartholomew, joined by powerhouse vocalist Angela Ricci and full live band.
Featuring timeless tracks like Dream On Dreamer, Midnight At The Oasis and Back To Love, The Brand New Heavies bring their signature blend of sophisticated ‘70s funk and infectious energy to Bristol Beacon.
