Live Jazz London

Influences: James Brown, Kool & the Gang

Buddy Curtess & The Grasshoppers deliver high-octane soul-funk grooves with relentless energy and precision. Formed in 1983, they've built a reputation as one of Britain's most explosive live bands, earning multiple 'Best Live Band' awards from Time Out and playing major festivals including Glastonbury's main stage, channelling the raw spirit of 1980s British funk.
