The Dilly Bros at Folklore

Stafford Tomlinson Presents...
An Untitled Sundays Special

A soulful variety of 70s funk curated and arranged by Pete Maas and his new band, The Dilly Brothers.

Peter Maas - bass

Core member and composer of Freeez, the world-renowned early proponents of 'Brit-funk' and jazz-funk, from their formation and first single in 1979 until the early 90s. They had an international hit with I.O.U. and a UK Top Ten with Southern Freeez. Maas also partially headed the Dazzling Urbanites in the early 90s. His tight and harmonic but rough-and-ready playing hasn't faltered, and he's found a band to lock with in a more classic funk unity. About Dilly Brothers Pete says, “We are playing songs we used to love and still do.”

Warabe Tatekoji - guitar, vocals

Blues guitarist in the 80s turning funkier through the years. Worked with King Bizkit Blues Band featuring Dick Heckstall-Smith and Zoot Money, and later with Jim Rodfold of the Kinks among others until ready to be bandleader and vocalist of Waranoid T from 1994 to 2000. Since then he had a break from being in bands so that 20 years of tension is being let loose, so beware.
