TRIO Valore is coming to Aberystwyth Arts Centre on Friday January 31, 8pm.

Formed originally from Paul Weller’s formidable live band of the mid 2000s the Trio’s original line up featured Steve White on drums (The Style Council, Paul Weller, Oasis, Dr John, The Who) and original Ocean Colour Scene founder Damon Minchella on bass with Seamus Beaghan on Hammond organ.

After releasing a widely acclaimed album in 2008, the Trio toured the UK and Europe playing festivals and live shows extensively through 2009. In 2013 the band were asked to reform for the 10th anniversary of Italian label Record Kicks and started off in Naples with their new line up, featuring Manchester based rising star Justin Shearn (Sam Gray) on keyboards. Since the debut Italian shows, the band have gone from strength to strength with a diary of live shows that stretches into 2014.

Trio Valore features some of the best musicians this country has to offer, with drummer Steve White voted by readers of Rhythm magazine in their top poll of all time drummers and with Damon Minchella in partnership have played in some of the most influential bands and recordings of the last 20 years.

Expect floor-shaking Hammond grooves, heavy deep funk and super dance-floor mood jazz.
