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!

Ayanam is a Nigerian singer but considers his "musical home" to be Manchester. He grew up in Nigeria but moved to the UK at the age of 16 and it's reflected in his musical style - taking inspiration from everyone from the Nsync to Outlandish to Paolo Nutini, and the Kooks - his musical taste is definitely "eclectic", but what he enjoys doing is taking songs from every genre and playing around with their conventions, turning the most bubble gum of pop songs into neo soul musings.
A lyricist at heart, having written poetry since 16, his raspy tone may remind you of passionate crooners like Rob Thomas and Paolo Nutini. Although most of his sets are covers. His original songs explore his struggles with anxiety as he finds it therapeutic.
In 2019, Ayanam was a member of Sir Tom Jones' team on The Voice UK getting as far as the knockouts. We think you’ll agree that this gig is set to be something very special indeed!
Plus, it’s HAPPY HOUR 5-6:30PM - that means buy 2 drinks and get a whole FREE PIZZA or get 2 house cocktails for just £15!
