The funkiest band ever to come from Dundee, or Scotland for that matter. They're a bit long in the tooth these days but they can still recapture that Sly Stone/Isley Brothers summer spirit in their current set.

Festival debut for the legendary soul-funk band. The Scottish band took the sounds of Detroit, Philly and Memphis; distilled R&B, jazz soul, and Motown into a potent funky mix; and then made hits like 'Pick up the Pieces’, 'Cut The Cake' and ‘Person to Person'. They’ve had three decades of massive international success – especially in the USA. They’ve got multiple gold albums and Grammy nominations and have founder members Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre, still defining the classic sound.
