Kokomo (2), Helena-May

Roots Around the World is delighted to announce that eight original members of one of the 70’s most revered and respected British Soul pioneers - Kokomo, whose line-up reads like pages from Who’s Who in British Music, are reuniting for a series of festival and gig dates in August 2014.

Kokomo’s 1975 debut album is considered a classic among collectors, whilst the band’s reputation as one of the finest 'groove' units ever to come out of this country remains largely intact.

Helena-May also launches her début London performance at Islington Assembly Hall.

Having stepped in for the indisposed Dyan Birch of Kokomo earlier this year while supporting with former named band; Man May'd, Helena-May is delighted to be asked back supporting with her own outfit. With her soulful smooth tones and smart image, her unique take on modern soul is a heady cocktail of funky grooves and melodic jazz.
