The Low Riders

In 2008, guitarist James Hannay assembles a group of brilliant young musicians with a love of vintage funk and soul to form The Low Riders. 8 years later, having played over 250 weddings, corporate events and parties all over Europe they are invited to become the resident band of the infamous Covent Garden club Bunga Bunga at its opening in 2016. The Bunga Boys are born. At Bunga Bunga, playing 2 or 3 nights every week, they notch up a further 500 gigs over the next 4 years and expand their repertoire massively from Funk and Soul to Jazz, Rock n’ Roll, Pop, Hip-Hop and everything else that make your heart sing and your feet fly. Meanwhile, The Low Riders keep riding. Whilst the Bunga Boys are wowing them in the club, The Low Riders are still wowing them on the road.
