Norman Jay's Good Times Band
The legendary DJ spreads good vibes with his funk, disco and soul mixes, with special guests Carleen Anderson, Omar and Natasha Watts.
Norman Jay is unquestionably one of the most respected and popular DJs in the world today. After co-founding London dance music station KISS FM in 1985, Jay fostered the ‘Rare Groove’ scene, pushing the boundaries of the UK’s emerging club culture, and was awarded the first MBE for services to deejaying and music in 2002.
In 2017 he released ‘Mister Good Times’, and is currently taking his legendary Good Times party to venues around the UK, continuing to convert generations of clubbers to the cause. After performing at the Southbank Centre last year, he’s back to champion new sounds, while never forgetting his musical roots.
Carleen Anderson is known as both the vocalist and composer for the Young Disciples, as well as her numerous collaborations and impressive solo career. She composes and writes futuristic operas with her signature blended-roots music genre. This performance marks a farewell to commercial music concerts.
Omar’s four-decade career is peppered with highlights, including eight solo albums of unique, evolving sound, collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music history (Erykah Badu, Lamont Dozier, Leon Ware, Stevie Wonder), a catalogue of side-projects and an MBE.
Natasha Watts has quickly become a familiar face in the music industry and has blossomed as an artist, songwriter and performer. She has performed at the Jazz Cafe and Montreux Jazz Festival, and has supported The O’Jays at the Theatre Royal London, and Shalamar at the London Palladium.
