HE'S so good Dexy's Kevin Rowland wrote a song about him!

Don't miss a rare opportunity to witness an iconic live performer, ably backed by the brilliant Ram Jam Band, in intimate surroundings tomorrow night when Geno Washington heads to the Brook.

Geno originates from Indiana, USA and first came to England in the 1960′s as part of the US Air Force. His love of blues and soul music soon found him jamming with local bands in and around Ipswich and eventually led him to London where he caused a sensation singing with top R&B acts Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames and Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band at the legendary Flamingo Club in Soho.

Geno teamed up with some of London’s hottest musicians and Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band very quickly became established as the most exciting live band in Britain, regularly topping the bill over world famous artistes.

His live shows were immortalised in two of the biggest selling albums of the 60’s – Hand Clappin’ Foot Stompin’ Funky Butt Live and Hipsters Flipsters and Finger Poppin’ Daddies.

Geno's status as the undisputed King of Soul was cemented forever by Kevin Rowland and Dexy’s Midnight Runners in the 1980’s with the worldwide No.1 smash hit single Geno, which paid homage to the great man himself.

Over the years Geno and his band have continued to tour extensively all over the world and have released several highly acclaimed albums and singles.
