ST. PAUL&THE MINNEAPOLIS ALLSTARS TO PERFORM IN LONDON

St. Paul, accompanied by The Minneapolis All-Stars brings his special brand of Minneapolis funk to London for the very first time this June. A former member of funk groups The Time and The Family, critically acclaimed solo artist, platinum-selling songwriter and sought after musician St. Paul is one artist whose talents truly run the full gamut of the music industry.

Discovered by Prince as 17 year old, St Paul appeared in the now legendary movie 'Purple Rain' as a member of The Time, fronted the critically acclaimed funk outfit The Family (who have been acknowledged by artists such as D'angelo, ?uestlove and Musiq) and released several US R&B and Top 40 Pop Hits as a solo artist. Featuring classic tunes such as 'Nothing Compares 2 U' (later covered by Sinead O'Connor), 'The Screams Of Passion', 'Mutiny', 'Jungle Love', 'Stranger To Love', 'Rich Man', 'Intimacy' and much more this is a must see show for those who like it funky!

The Minneapolis AllStars are: keyboardist Ricky Peterson, a critically acclaimed jazz-funk artist in his own right (and arguably the world's finest B3 player) whose productions credits include Prince, George Benson, David Sanborn and Howard Hewett (to name a few); former Prince&The NPG guitarist Kat Dyson, a regular member of Sheila E's band whose resume includes Cyndi Lauper, Bernie Worrell and Ziggy Marley (and many more); JP Delaire (saxophone/keyboards) sideman for Alexander O'Neal, Solo, Carmen Electra and Michael Bolton along with drummer extraordinaire Joey Finger a Minneapolis favourite who played with the likes of Boz Scaggs, Jonny Lang, Prince, The Steeles, Kenny G, Bryan White and Bruce Willis!
