Sir Joe Quarterman is one of the USA’s most acclaimed Funk and Soul vocalists and with his band, Free Soul, released their single “(I Got) So Much Trouble on My Mind,” in 1973, a hard hitting groove with a social message which reached the R&B Top 30. Other chart hits include ‘In My Mind’, ‘The Way They Do My Life’, ‘Trouble With Trouble’, ‘Find Yourself’ and ‘Give Me Back My Freedom’.

Back in Europe by popular demand, Band on the Wall plays host to the Washington DC based singer for an exclusive Manchester date. It’s the real deal, characterised by social commentary lyrics, fat bass lines, soaring horns and relentless funky beats.
