Formed originally as a community street band for the Whitstable Oyster Festival parade, the Native Oysters have evolved to become a funky, electrifying experience with tight, powerful horn arrangements and creamy, soulful vocals from traditional second-line classics through Americana, 70s funk, right up to full-on hip-hop and R&B, all given the Delta city treatment, Whitstable style.
Founder members, saxophonists Ivan Thompson and Katy Windsor, have been the driving force, along with drummer Alan King, adding, along the way, lead singer and trumpeter, David Migden; helicon player Russ Kennedy; tuba player, Tom Pascoe and guitarist Steven Higgs. All members share a passion for New Orleans music, creating a musical experience never to be forgotten.
Bring along picnics from 6 pm, ready for a 7 pm performance.
Proceeds raised from this music evening will be donated to the local branch of the Samaritans.
