Win Stax (with Eddie Floyd) @299 tickets

The place to be on Wednesday July 27th is The Venue @229 Great Portland Street. There you will find none other than Stax royalty Mr Eddie 'Knock On Wood' Floyd AND Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn, members of Stax very own Booker T & the MGs.

These guy's have played with everyone from Otis Redding to Sam & Dave, from Wilson Pickett to of course Eddie Floyd, to name but few... So as you continue to check their sparkling credentials, may I also mention that Cropper also wrote/co-wrote such legendary tunes as (huge breath): ‘In The Midnight Hour’, ‘Green Onions’, ‘Soul Man’, ‘Time is Tight’, ‘Soul Limbo’ (BBC television’s "cricket theme"), ‘Knock on Wood’, ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay’ - OK, I'll stop there! But I think you get where I'm coming from.

You can expect to hear all of these monster STAX hits and much, much more from this dynamic Southern Soul label. Completing the line-up on the evening and keeping things in the STAX family, Lester Snell from Issac Hayes' original band, who will be on Hammond B3 AND Steve Potts on drums, who replaced the late great Al Jackson in the MGs over 30 years ago.
