Out To Lunch 2025

New Street Adventure
‘Every now and then a band shakes you from your reveries about pop’s golden past and reminds you there are still classic chapters to be written’, Paul Moody (Q Magazine)

Led by singer and songwriter Nick Corbin, New Street Adventure released two albums on the legendary Acid Jazz Records, producing soul-fuelled tunes cut with a distinctly British edge that saw Nick hailed by The Guardian’s Tim Jonze as having “an innate understanding of classic songwriting”.

The band toured the UK and Europe several times, headlining the likes of London’s Jazz Cafe and 100 Club, Hamburg’s Mojo Club and sharing the bill with the likes of Lee Fields & The Expressions, The Milk, Leroy Hutson and The Rifles, before separating in early 2018.

Carmy Love
Soul singer Carmy Love launched her solo career in 2021, with her debut 45 ‘Rebel / Thinkin’ About You‘ on Big AC Records selling out prior to its official release and gaining praise from Craig Charles (6 Music), Robert Elms (BBC London) and Norman Jay (Soho Radio) amongst many others.

Born and raised in North West London, Carmy had a rich musical upbringing: Her Mother and Step-Father were DJs on several underground stations including Roots, Unique and Flava Radio. The likes of Janet Kay, Louisa Marks and Chaka Khan all featured heavily during her formative years, whilst an early grounding in Gospel singing developed her vocal style and stage craft.

Having also sung with Cool Million, PM Warson, Charles and House Gospel Choir, Carmy was also an original member of New Street Adventure, making a major contribution to “No Hard Feelings” – NSA’s debut album on Acid Jazz – with her stunning backing vocals elevating the record to modern soul classic status.

The Gold Tips
The Gold Tips blow a non-stop soul hurricane. They emerged out of Belfast, fully formed, not too long ago. Their distinctive, righteous sound, created and driven by frontman Eamonn McNamee, is soaked in a deep love of Sam Cooke, Stax & Rock ‘n’ Roll and has already seen them pack clubs and carry them to festival main stages.

The band opened for the legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic to a sell-out crowd at Custom House Square, Belfast in August 2021 and Van Morrison on the same stage in 2022.

Their debut album ‘Parade’ released in February last year, is a 9 track, horn-drenched, glorious squall forged in the great sounds of the past and sounding absolutely of the moment.
