Festival favourites, The Atlantic Players are a 9-piece soul band all the way from Moseley, Birmingham!

Regulars across Birmingham’s best live music venues, and thrilled to be back at Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul in 2024, having made their debut at the festival way back in 2011.

They deliver an authentic southern soul sound you would have heard back in 1960’s New Orleans and Memphis. Uncovering tunes deep from within the soul vaults from sensational, often undiscovered artists such as Johnny Adams, Garnet Mimms, Bettye Swann and Mary Jane Hooper.

Get yourself down to the front…you will not be disappointed!

The Atlantic Players are: Hugh ‘Junior’ Blackwood and Miss Patsy Fuller on vocals, Keith Owen on guitar, Red on bass, Mick Laffoley on drums, Hugh ‘Number 9’ Graham on percussion, Andy Vine on piano and organ, Kate O’Malley on alto/tenor saxophone and flute, and Steve ‘Pretty Boy’ Bates on trumpet.
