The six piece sound pretty funky, electro keyboards, jazzy-disco funk guitar, huge seventies sounding percussion and a dreamy soft female voice in Danielle Moore. This is perfect stuff to shake off the aches of the day before and they get heads bopping and hips swaying.

Good they are good, really in the seventies this lot would have huge, and Danielle a pin up star in her white gloves, rings, seventies dress and able to frenetically dance and high kick in strappy heels, impressive!

The double percussion really bring the sound out and rapidly draws in stragglers from outside the tent. They get the crowd up and moving to their brand of psychadelic funk, even more so after Danielle declares, “Come on you lot of stoners in the middle get up it’s a rave!” and unleashing more ‘Pump and Grind’ “Dance to the Music” does the trick and Danielle, again tells us to dance adding, “Number 119 security was dancing more than you were.” Which raises a chuckle as it seems he finds it impossible not to nod to the groove, and has the result of the security eyeing each other for moves during the next song ‘Can’t Get Down.’

Danielle doesn’t stop gyrating throughout this glitterball groove-fest and ‘Sun Science’ with it’s chorus of Sun Addiction sees her leaping about with pom poms. Great grooves and a full lush sound. A highlight of the weekend. Go buy the album ‘A Night On Earth’ for lush grooves for all summer long.
