TC & The Groove Family // 10-piece // Jazz Fusion Funky Afrobeat // £15.40

This band’s music celebrates the coming together of cultures, and the community that music can provide and their sound reflects the diverse musical and cultural backgrounds that are at the core of the project. Songs explore grooves and genres from the UK and around the world, including Afrobeat, broken beat, jungle, jazz and grime. Driven by drummer Tim Cook (TC) and fronted by Sheffield wordsmith Franz Von, their live shows are powerful and dynamic, creating moments of euphoria and stillness to keep audiences on their toes.

This will be a big one. Expect it to be busy - probably sold out - get your tickets early.

ARRIVING
The band normally begin playing at 9:30pm, but I like to get their early to meet and chat with people. I recommend you do the same! It gets pretty busy, and you might have to queue if you are late. In the event that you already have a ticket and there is a queue, you can normally push to the front and get in - arrive before 8:45pm to be safe, though, and then ease in to it.

CHATTING IN MEET UP
Ensure you have the Meet Up app on your phone with notifications turned on - we use the chat feature to communicate on the day (if we are looking for each other, etc).

WHERE TO MEET
At the venue, on the table next to the entrance (to the right of the doors as you walk in). I'll be there from about 8:45pm. I will send a chat message on this event saying what I am wearing.

ABOUT THE NIGHT
The place to be if you like upbeat danceable world music.
Bossaphonik is a live music dance night that presents music from around the globe, fused together to make an uplifting joyful evening of live music and good vibes. Whether it's latino, afro-beat, funk, middle-eastern (and often it can be a blend of all these influences cleverly fused together), the music is often upbeat and danceable.

PARKING
Limited parking available, but there is the open car park down Between Towns Road, by Sainsbury's.

You may want to bring ear protection if you have tinnitus like I do, but most people don't wear them at the nights.

DONATIONS FOR THIS MEET UP GROUP:
Over the last 12 months, I have organised 25 events and paid Meet Up £212. I have not passed this £212 cost on to members, but ask that you donate £5 - £15 to help me cover this Meet Up charge so that I can continue to run this group without being out of pocket.
If you would like to transfer something, however small, let me know and I will give you details. Thank you.

See you there!
