Phonic FM birthday bash and benefit gig, Exeter Phoenix, Friday 6 March, 8.30pm

By Jenna Richards

A top line up promises a night to remember as 106.8 Phonic FM hosts its first ever birthday bash and benefit gig on Friday 6th March at Exeter Phoenix.

Headlining are eight piece live funk extravaganza the Haggis Horns.

Currently performing to rave reviews these boys combine heavy breakbeat funk, soul, hip-hop and afrobeat with the skill of trained jazz musicians.

The Haggis Horns are currently igniting the dance floors of the world’s funk and soul clubs: they have already performed and recorded alongside the likes of Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Nightmares on Wax, Corinne Bailey-Rae, Duran Duran, Lou Donaldson, Lily Allen, KT Tunstall and The Cinematic Orchestra.

Offering support are Exeter’s very own ten-headed, funk-fuelled, ska machine, Melosa. These festival favourites offer up a selection of hot, high energy, feel good sunshine ska with a Latin twist.

With all this and more there is plenty to keep you bobbing around on the dance floor all night long.

Throughout the night a host of Phonic FM DJs be mixing it up and the decks and showing off some of the talent broadcasting on 106.8 Phonic FM.

The mighty Arash from Phonic FM’s 247 Magazine Live show will be kicking off the festivities in the auditorium. The between acts Andy and Rich of Phonic FM’s Playtime with Andy and Rich will be getting funky and warming you up for the headline act.

The Mello Men will be warming up party goers in the bar, before the Respect Show’s Nigel Pennington and the Rock Show’s Mike James pick up the pace.

Dance fuelled mayhem will take over the Exeter Phoenix bar from 11pm until 2am as it is transformed into a top notch dance area with JamTheChannel verses NONOM.

Do not miss out!

All this for £5 just (including booking fee). Door open at 8.30pm. Tickets are available from the Exeter Phoenix box office on 01392 667080 or log on to www.exeterphoenix.org.uk (you pay an extra 50p for booking online).
