We are very excited to welcome Yubaba to Matt & Phred’s for their debut club gig - let’s show them some love!
Yubaba are North Wales’ and the North West’s premier Funk & Soul act. This vocal-led 6 piece band never fail to get audiences of all ages moving with their infectious mix of Funk, Soul, Ska and Reggae.
With a mighty repertoire spanning from classic grooves to more modern chart tracks, Yubaba add their own arrangements and twists to Funk, Soul, and Reggae hits from the 80’s to today.
From The White Stripes, to Amy Winehouse, to The Beatles, to James Brown, to Aretha Franklin, to Junior Senior, and so far very beyond…
The hugely competent line up of vocals, saxophone, guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums promise to ignite the atmosphere of our little backstreet jazz club from song one. This is to be a Saturday night in the company of a fantastic band whose awesome showmanship and skill will get you dancing in your seat, then on the dance floor, then all the way home.

Lead Vocals – Jess Beatson
Guitar – Alex Carter

We are delighted to welcome Ayanam to Matt & Phred’s for his debut club early-evening gig!
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!
