Maceo Parker - European tour dates announced

Getting a little funked up waiting for 3121?

Why wait 'til the 20th to hear Maceo Parker play on 3121 when you can experience him LIVE in across Europe in the meantime?



The saxophone legend will be playing a number of dates in small venues across the UK over the next week,
followed by dates all over the continent, so don't miss the chance to hear some truly funky music at a venue near you.

He'll be playing the following dates.....

Tuesday 14th March - Lemon Grove, Exeter Uni Campus, EXETER

Wednesday 15th March - Colston Hall, BRISTOL

Thursday 16th March - Islington Academy, LONDON

Friday 17th March- Academy, LIVERPOOL

Saturday 18th March - Oran More, GLASGOW

Sunday 19th March - Sage, GATESHEAD


Check out www.maceoparker.com for booking info and further details.

Dates in France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Bulgaria are also listed throughout March and April
so you have no excuse to miss out on this chance to "Get on the Boat" and experience the legendary Mr Maceo Parker live!

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Saw him at the Red Sea Jazz Festival in Eilat 10 yrs ago - with Fred Wesley. It was supa-funky! He also gave a master-class where he told a lot of stories of JB and PFunk (shame he hadn't hooked up with the little man!).

I saw him once around 2003 in Paris with Greg B. and MrHayes, it was a great show but not as tigh as when playing with Prince.
I think Maceao is a very kind person, during the show I could felt he was playing with all his heart, so a true funky and warm show.
Any Co-sign?

What can I say?? Maceo was awesome yet again! He always takes it up another funk notch! Whats that all about?

Just when i thought yeah it'll be a good gig...how much more funk can he do?

Thats me wrong

Two things, ok 3 things, actually 4 things i always take away with me from a Maceo gig...

1. The funk!
2. The love to everyone, "We Love You...u and u...and u..."
3. The band is tight "What about the band...what about the band..." The band were awesome!! Corey Parker...is da man...Marta Wright all woman! the guitarist...the keys man...the trumpetter...the drummer (the happiest man alive - never seen someone sooo happy drumming the funk! Props to you man...u loved the funk)... His Shakespeare Sista Natasha and of course The Teacher himself...Mister Maceo Parker! Respect and appreciation where its due and they deserve more than enough! My cupth as over runth"
4. The new funk moves and chants! "This funk is off the hook..."

Maceo played jams...there were tiiight. From Maceo to JB to Prince to George... he had it down!

If you get the chance please please please check out the legend that is maceo parker!

Props to Natasha his tour manager and Maceo himself for supporting our celebration on Tues!

Love to you all.

Ps. Get Maceo's new album...it is da bomb! www.maceo.com
