The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club 3

The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club returns - and Volume 3 is a truly international round up of all things hip, happening and gorgeously groovy! There is a great selection of seductive, female voices across Volume 3 - Sophia Bastians' gutsy, blues drenched 'Breaking' is a minor key wonder, Sena Dagadus' strutting afrobeat anthem 'Accra City People' rolls over the horizon like a steam train with no brakes - and Juliette Ashbys' sexy and sassy 'Like A Bass Guitar' digs down deep into a funk heavy groove in all the right ways, and The Getups' featured vocalist Sabina Challenger rides on the bands trademark tight Hammond funk groove like an award winning surfer. 21st century neo-soul makes it's presence felt too - Harleighblus' crisp and rugged 'Play Me' leads perfectly to the UK Soul Don number 1 Omar's massive tune 'The Man', the track that became an instant classic and saw the album of the same name top charts and reach places you might not expect, as even long time fan Prince Charles owns a copy! Omar isn't the only legendary male voice featured - ladies and gentlemen, hold my calls! We've only got the legend that is Afrika Bambaataa featuring on The Mighty Mocambos funking hip hop roof raiser 'It's The Music Part 1' - and Australian superstar Daniel Merriweathers' bluesy vocal on Cookin On 3 Burners Losin' Steak makes it clear why people like Mark Ronson beat a path to his door when its talented man tonsils they require! Boogaloo, soul-jazz and latin sounds feature strongly too - Sunlight Squares' Vamanos Pal Monte will without doubt make your dancing feet itchy, Speedometers huge selling reworking of Pharell Williams 'Happy' will have you soul clapping and spinning like you are at Wigan Casino - and Ray Lugo and The Boogaloo Destroyers El Ritmo De Nuevo York will make you feel like your back in late 60's New York partying with Ray Barreto and Mongo Santamaria, and The Andre Espeut Quintets' 'Let It Go' is jazzy enough to make even girls grow a goatee beard.
