Biography
London afrobeat and jazz septet led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey and percussionist Onome Edgeworth, formed in 2014.

Their studio albums 'Could We Be More' (2022) and 'Tuff Times Never Last' (2025), both on #Brownswood Recordings#, fuse afrobeat, highlife, soul and funk, played by a horn-led line-up rooted in the modern London jazz scene and the music of the African diaspora.
