Food & Funk

A one off evening event hosted by The Waiting Room friends Melanie Gosling and Isabel Gylling from Norwich with music from Jellybean.

Small taster dishes will be served throughout the evening, all vegetarian or vegan, flavours from around the world, elements of raw food and incorporating local produce, some home-grown. Melanie and Isabel are happy to share recipes and tips.

Jellybean offers an original take on 70s blues-funk. Their music spans across a range of instrumental styles from fun and funky organ and blues guitar riffs through to soulful mellow sounds punctuated by in-the-pocket hard-hitting classic-sounding funk grooves.

Always laid back, with influences including Dr Lonnie Smith, Ray Charles, the Headhunters, the Meters, James Taylor Quartet, the JB’s and 70s funk groove, Jellybean adds to this mix a unique blend of Hammond and Hendrix with a dashof jazz flute and funky backbeat drums.
