70s funk group
Black Velvet, celebrated as a 70s funk group from the United Kingdom, are known for their grooving sound and eclectic discography. Their dynamic approach to funk is evident across landmark albums such as "Can You Feel It?" (1973), "People of the World" (1972), and their debut "This Is Black Velvet" (1970). Songs like "An Earth Quakes Coming" and "Freedom Freedom" showcase the band's knack for rhythmic energy and soulful expression.
Their enduring appeal continues to draw interest, with their most recent album release being "When Blindness Hits the Light" from 2010. Black Velvet's live music presence remains vibrant: in May 2026, the group is set to play at VERNFEST at The Rose and Crown in London. They will appear as a support act for the headliner Sweet Apple Jam, joining a lineup that highlights both established and emerging artists in the UK live music circuit.
For those enthusiastic about classic British funk and compelling concerts, Black Velvet's performances offer a rich blend of nostalgia and musicianship. Be sure to follow Black Velvet for the latest updates and discover their tour dates and gigs as new live shows are announced.
