Warmly welcoming the fantastic Lucas D & The Groove Ghetto back to M&P’s after their hugely popular debut club gig back in late 2021. Bring your dancing shoes, this is set to be a night with a setlist sure to satisfy almost everyone’s taste in music!
Lucas D & The Groove Ghetto are a 7-piece Soul and Funk outfit playing a hugely eclectic mix of music from awe-inspiring soul, to all-time classic disco, through to modern chart tracks given the Lucas D treatment.
Fronted by Cat Davis, the band consists of a red-hot horn section (trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone, and flute), some of the coolest keys, guitar and bass riffing and improvising out there, plus irresistible beats and rhythms coming from drums and percussion.
Not only does this band have the perfect Saturday night setlist, they have the feel-good attitude sure to make you finish the night with a big smile. The combination of Cat’s superb vocals and the band’s extraordinary solos will leave you tempted to stay on the dance floor for all three forty-five minute sets!
From Diana Krall, to Leo Sayer, to the Jackson Sisters, to Al Green, to Amy Winehouse, to Sister Sledge, to Stevie Wonder, to Arctic Monkeys… They’ve got it all!

Charlie Cooper writes vintage soul, updated perfectly, sung with deep and husky soul-pipes! Not only comparable with classic voices like Dusty Springfield and Shirley Bassey but also up there with modern soul divas Alice Russell and Sharon Jones, Charlie is a vocal force to be reckoned with.
The songs emerge from another time, influenced by the classic songwriting and arranging of Bacharach and Hal David, accompanied by grooves akin to old school Stax and Motown.
This paired down piano solo gig will showcase this talented artist in an intimate setting.
