Smoove & Turrell: UK's greatest Modern Soul band w. 6 critically acclaimed albums & support from Gilles Peterson kick off their Stratos Bleu tour..‪.‬ LIFTING THE LYD: Lydia Laws, music publicist & eco activist, meets a medley of inspiring achievers

Welcome back to LIFTING THE LYD! I'm speaking with Smoove of Smoove and Turrell. Hailed as the UK's greatest modern Soul band, with 6 critically acclaimed albums, they've played thousands of shows worldwide including Glastonbury 9 times, racked up millions of streams of their tracks, and stand high with tastemakers like Gilles Petersen, Craig Charles, Lauren Laverne... They’re also proud Northerners, lads after my own heart! 

We recorded this last year in a brief lockdown hiatus. They're now kicking off their Stratos Bleu Album Tour which is not to be missed, full details on their socials & website. We talk about the pressures of living up to your last record, mad stories from life on the road, and what success means to him. Hope you enjoy it!
