Geno Washington + The Ram Jam Band + Smoke Like a Fish tickets and listings

Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band
Always ready to rock the house, the King of the swingers is the incarnation of all things sixties. Hipsters and Flipsters, movers and shakers alike, are all rendered incapable of having a bad time, when the Good Times Guru gets his army fans on the good foot! The old Geno magic still drags 'em in and sends them home high!

With his irrepressible showmanship and professionalism Geno will be knocking audiences dead for years to come. His super-tight band is one of the hardest working outfits in the country. It's not all Old Skool though, Geno has recently recorded with Adamski and Big Dog (ex Black Grape).

Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band had two of the biggest selling UK albums of the sixties. Amazingly both of these were live albums. Hand Clappin, Foot Stompin, Funky Butt Live was in the album charts for 48 weeks of the year 1996 and was only out-sold by 'The Sound of Music' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'.Everyone loves Geno, he's the real deal. Dexy's Midnight Runners even wrote the eighties hit Oh Geno! about him!

His band is bold, brassy and rather funky and this original sixties soul man generates an amazing buzz. He's a legendary live performer, a truly great front man who really understands how to get a place rocking. Dont miss a great night of high energy blues & soul!!

With an up tempo two-toned Ska-popunkish attack, Smoke like a Fish from Mid Wales relentlessly pump the off beat with groove and aggression, behind brass splattered riffs, catchy choruses and social comment.
