One of the very best tributes to Prince finally makes it to Nottingham, celebrating the Purple One who would have turned 67 years this June 7th… It’s gonna be a beautiful night!
“ECHOES OF PRINCE” is a very special and unique show: an opera funk in tribute to The Kid Of Minneapolis, created by the Parisian funk band, Echoes Of, better known recently as Jéroboam on Space Grapes Records and Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra for Kyoto Jazz Massive. If you get a chance to see this, it’s probably one of the best projects covering Prince’s music other than former Prince musicians themselves.
For more than 9 years, Echoes Of have built an extensive live experience and a strong reputation between Paris and London. They started and still carry on with their original and popular tributes to the American cites of 70-80’s funk, leading a very successful and phenomenal monthly residency called “Funk & The City”, at the legendary jazz club New Morning in Paris, but also regularly being invited to perform at the South London Soul Train Parties (Bussey Building, Omeara, Lafayette).
