Bulleit @ The Archers In Glasgow - Soul and Funk!

Whiskey brand Bulleit Bourbon® returns to Glasgow with its series of live music events - Bulleit Originals, which showcase the extraordinary talent of pioneering musicians alongside their contemporary peers. The events take the audience on a musical journey demonstrating how much of the music we listen to today is inspired by original pioneering musical genres.

The first Bulleit Originals event, on Friday 7th November, will track the influential journey of Soul and Funk. From the classic Soul of the 60's and the 70's funk explosion, to the sample heavy Hip Hop years complemented by a heavy dose of the Funky Dred! The evening will feature performances from groundbreaking UK band Soul 2 Soul (playing a Soundsystem set) alongside one of the pioneering legends of classic soul, Martha High. DJ support comes in the form of current Gilles Peterson favourite, Ben Westbeech.

Soul music originated in The States in the 50's and has since spawned many subgenres via a mutation of Rhythm and Blues, Gospel and Funk. Rhythmic grooves and emotional vocal performances characterise the Soul / Funk movements, and are also intrinsically linked to the development of 1970s Disco scene. Names such as James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles and Al Green feature heavily in the sample led world of House Music and Hip Hop to date, with funk's influence clearly evident in new wave, and the post punk revolution.
