Nile Rodgers & CHIC + Special Guest Folamour

Nile Rodgers & CHIC bring their funk, disco and soul repertoire to Clifton Downs in Bristol, with French DJ and producer Folamour as special guest.

Nile Rodgers is an American guitarist and composer, born in 1952 in New York, who has been active since 1972 in pop, contemporary R&B and rhythm and blues. He released his debut solo album in 1983 on Warner Music Group. Chic, the group with which he is associated, is a New York band whose best-known songs include "Good Times" and "Le Freak", and whose grooves have been widely influential in disco and funk.

The genres given for this concert are R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, which place the evening within the same dance and soul tradition that Chic's records helped define. Folamour is a French DJ and producer who founded the FHUO Records label and is part of the revival of French house and disco, with a catalogue of albums, EPs and remixes.

The concert takes place at Clifton Downs, a concert and performance venue at Stoke Road in Bristol. It will appeal to fans of disco, funk and soul who want to hear a line-up that links the Chic songbook with contemporary French dance music.
