“This year, The Average White Band, one of the best soul and funk bands of all-time, hit the road for their farewell tour. Craig’s guest will be founding member Alan Gorrie, who says ‘AWB has been our life for the last 50-plus years and has brought unbelievable highs – and some lows – to us throughout that tumultuous half-century’.
Formed in London in 1972, the six-piece band, somewhat incongruously given their Scottish roots, took the influences of their R&B heroes such as Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Stevie Wonder and developed their own authentic sound which was eagerly adopted by black audiences in the US and elsewhere. The group’s consistently accomplished song-writing helped them to achieve several gold and platinum-selling albums and multiple Grammy nominations.”
