“Plenty of belters to ramp up the nostalgia.” – Clash

The Brand New Heavies: Andrew Levy, Angela Ricci and Simon Bartholomew
Released in 1994The Brand New Heavies’ third album ‘Brother Sister’ changed everything for the band. Propelled by the classic singles ‘Dream On Dreamer’‘Midnight At The Oasis’ and ‘Back To Love’, the record achieved huge success (a #4 chart position, over a million sales and a BRIT nomination) as they cemented their position as the pioneers of Acid Jazz. Still sounding as fresh and timeless as it did back then, The Brand New Heavies celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary with the announcement of the ‘Brother Sister 30’ tour.

Featuring original members Andrew Levy and Simon Bartholomew  with the phenomenal vocalist Angela Ricci, the tour will see The Brand New Heavies perform ‘Brother Sister’ in full alongside other hits and fan favourites from their storied history with a complete live band.

The band says, “We can’t believe that Brother Sister is going to be 30 years young! What better way to celebrate than coming to see us play the album in its entirety as well as all our hits.”

Since debuting in 1990The Brand New Heavies have translated their love of sophisticated ’70s funk grooves into an ever evolving sound that has ignited dancefloors and inspired fans for over thirty years.
