George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic
Thursday 1st Dec // 7pm // £22.50
---
George Clinton has been one of the greatest innovators of urban based soul, rock and funk over the last forty years, and is set to perform at the recently refurbished HMV Ritz club in Manchester on Thursday, 1st December 2011.
Formed in 1968 Funkadelic carried the torch for George's creative output until 1972 when, in a stroke of genius, George renamed the band Parliament and signed them to Casablanca Records, while Funkadelic signed with Warner Brothers in 1976. Clinton now had two powerhouse bands signed to two different labels. With the growth of funk as a vibrant musical force, George was churning out landmark hits with both acts. Parliament was hitting with dance floor jams like Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (Give Up the Funk), Aqua Boogie, Flashlight, and Bop Gun. Meanwhile, Funakdelic was also hitting hard with anthemic funk jams like (Not Just) Knee Deep and One Nation Under A Groove.
This is the only UK date outside London and an extremely rare club performance for one of the godfathers of funk.
Presented by Mean Fiddler in association with Band on the Wall.
