May we be a little impertinent? If there's one artist that you have to have seen in your lifetime then it must be Charles Bradley. A man after our own heart. A man with soul. A man who plays funk on the one and pretty much comes closest to what we imagine James Brown would have sounded like live in the mid ’70's.

What's more, Charles Bradley – who debuted (in ‘11) at the age of 63 with the album ‘No Time For Dreaming’ - is perfectly surrounded by musicians from the holy Daptone Records stable.

Think: Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. His voice goes deep and it's been years since we saw someone perform so sincerely. Listen to his latest album ‘Victim Of Love’ and be instantly convinced.

But be sure to attend live, so that you can discover why Bradley bears the nickname ‘The Screaming Eagle Of Soul’.

We'll be opening with Brit Jo Harman. Radio 1, about her: “With your eyes closed, you think you're listening to a black voice from the USA. Her debut album 'Dirt On My Tongue' contains 11 extremely personal songs, going from broken loves to the passing of her beloved father.” Harman is a very welcome guest at blues- and jazz-festivals.
