Woodbridge Festival Art & Music opening party for 2024 sees funk and soul legend Les Spaine DJing live at The Riverside Restaurant on festival Friday.

The night will see Les resurrect his set from when he was resident DJ at the legendary Timepiece funk club - one of the defining nights in the history of UK club culture.

TICKETS TO OPENING PARTY WITH LES SPAINE - GOD FATHER OF UK FUNK HERE

Timepiece was a 2000 capacity all-night super club in Liverpool in the early 1970s, which became a magnet for touring American soul and funk acts. This led to Les heading-up Motown Records in the UK, working with people such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Jacksons, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Maze, Aswad and many more.

Les paved the way for countless DJs that followed in Liverpool, Manchester and across the UK, not only introducing new sounds, but also opening pathways for others to follow. DJs such as Greg Wilson, Hacienda resident and the first DJ to mix live on TV (The Word 1983),  describe Les as a giant who was always willing to help other DJs coming up behind him.

Come catch the groove at WFAM 2024’s opening party. Friday 30 August, The Riverside.
