The Legend of William Onyeabor
A nostalgic, danceable afro-funk night.
We celebrate the enduring catalogue of William Onyeabor, creator of some of the most futuristic funk ever recorded. From cult favourites like 'Fantastic Man', 'Atomic Bomb' and 'When the Going Is Smooth and Good', his music fused hypnotic synths, machine-driven grooves and psychedelic Afro-funk into a unique sound. This celebration features a full live band bringing Onyeabor’s cosmic rhythms and enigmatic sound back to the dancefloor.
