What we’re about
Let's get together again for coffee, walks, meals, cinema, theatre, shows and have fun - all suggestions welcome. We're a friendly bunch!
Please make sure you have a clear photo of your face on your profile, so we can recognise you when you come to an event. I'm afraid that we don't accept requests for membership if you don't have a clear profile photo of yourself.
The cost of membership is £5 each year (from December 2024 to December 2025) . This is to cover the cost of the group being on the Meetup Group website.
All members will be asked to pay £5 in December 2024 for the following year.
We look forward to meeting you at an event soon!

Band info
Light Of The World is widely acknowledged as true Innovators of Brit Funk, Jazz Funk and Soul Funk. Their unique sound is a branded combination of gutsy soulful vocals, tight jazz horn melodies and fat gritty bass lines.
The band perform their most popular hits London Town, I Shot the Sheriff, No.1 Girl, I’m So Happy, Time, Ride The Love Train, Pete’s Crusade plus many of the bands major chart hit recordings. Still working together after 35 years original members Gee Bello, Mel Gaynor, Nat Augustin and band are to present a special funk show,
LOTW promise to bring back great memories of the early 80's. Any serious record collector or clubber from the late 70’s and 80’s soul/dance era would have their tracks acts in their collection. Now it’s finally time to enjoy a very special show!
Light Of The World live and on record, are as exciting, surprising fresh and funky as, back in 1979, when Ensign Records announced the London group as their latest signing, back then it was obvious to the growing funk club scene that something special was going on. The label’s Director of A&R was Chris Hill, the soul circuit’s founding father and most in-demand DJ.
