About The Filthy Six
The Filthy Six are a British Jazz group specializing in Organ Jazz, a style of Jazz encompassing Funk, Acid and Soul-Jazz, but specifically involving the use of Hammond Organ. Currently signed to East London's Acid Jazz Records, The current line-up of the group is: Nick Etwell Mark Brown Nigel Price Pete Whittaker Dan Drury Simon Lea The Filthy Six are an authentic Soul Jazz outfit in the UK and have established themselves as one of the most electric live acts on the scene. Their soaring horns, blistering guitar and gut-wrenching Hammond are fuelled by one of the hardest grooving rhythm sections around producing a hip-shakingly powerful mixture of jazz, funk and boogaloo totally in keeping with the finest traditions of the Blue Note sound. These instrumental groove merchants fuse boundless energy and incredible musicianship to create tight, funky music that moves the mind, body and soul whilst simultaneously tearing the roof off every venue they play! Led by trumpeter Nick Etwell (Tom Jones, David Axelrod, Mumford & Sons) this crack unit of erudite musical gunslingers have graced the bands of some of the biggest names in music including Amy Winehouse, Jill Scott, Beck, Mark Ronson, Jack White, Dionne Warwick, Pee Wee Ellis, Ronnie Spector, Basement Jaxx, Spiritualized, 4hero, Atomic Bomb Band, Madness, Galactic and the James Taylor Quartet to name but a few. From their literal 'underground' beginnings down at the infamous Tatty Bogle Club, deep beneath the heart of London's Soho, the band built up a faithful following at their monthly 'Thursday Boogaloo' sessions in the mid 00's. Moving above ground and into venues across London and beyond they gained notoriety for the intensity of their live shows.
