FUNK FROM THE TRUNK XXXL featuring SPEEDOMETER and funk legend MARTHA HIGH

FUNK FROM THE TRUNK XXL presents... SPEEDOMETER featuring MARTHA HIGH Speedometer, the UK's premier funk band started out as a quartet gigging in small clubs in the Southeast of England, playing classic funk tunes by artists such as The Meters and The JB's. The band soon expanded, adding the now renowned horn section (The Rev Horns) and vocalists (The Speedettes), enabling them to deliver the powerhouse deep funk sound they're known for today. Martha High has sung with Soul Legends including James Brown, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Bobby Byrd, Gwen McCrae and RAMP. During her collaboration with Soulpower, High performed all across Europe and even performed in Africa, backed by the Soulpower Allstars. In February 2005, High embarked on the "James Brown's Funky Divas Tour" in Europe, sharing the stage with her friend Lyn Collins. Today, Martha continues to tour the world, notably with Pee Wee Ellis as part of his Still Black, Still Proud show and she featured at the 2008 Harbour Festival.
