A breath of fresh air in the clichéd world of soul bands. SMOOVE & TURRELL make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else. No sharp suits and trumpet twirls, just a wildly talented bunch of North East lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become UK figureheads.

Their first album Antique Soul scored heavy points with singles I Can’t Give You Up, You Don’t Know and Beggarman, gaining two Radio 2 Radcliffe & Maconie Records Of The Week 6Music national playlist, propelling them to Glastonbury and Big Chill headline stages.

The original 7” of the northern soul banger I Can’t Give You Up still changes hands for up to £160, btw…

With the word spreading across the pond, S&T tracks could be heard on network giant ABC’s primetime campaign, feature film For A Good Time Call, video game The Crew and international smash hit series like The Finder & World of Jenks.

Back in the UK, Hard Work was used on a national advertising campaign as well as Match of the Day, Strictly Come Dancing, Splash and Coronation Street.

Live performance highlights included Space Ibiza, Moscow, Dubai and supporting Nile Rodgers & Chic.

Third album Broken Toys was released May 2014, and sparkling pop flirted with disco floor stompers in between the blues, jazz, funk & soul the boys are so well known for.

Hitting the road again with their motley crew of Geordie reprobates Smoove & Turrell’s 7 piece band will once again be gaining yet more of a loyal fan base both here in the UK and in Europe & the wider world. RECOMMENDED!
