TC & The Groove Family

Presented by Lancaster Jazz Festival, Jazz North & Kanteena, TC & The Groove Family are a 9-piece collective whose music celebrates the coming together of cultures, and the unity that music can provide for everyone. Driven by drummer Tim Cook, their live shows are powerful and dynamic, exploring grooves and genres from the UK and around the world, including afrobeat, breakbeat, jungle, jazz and highlife.

TC & The Groove Family have been turning heads all over the country with their electric, captivating live performances all over the country and have recently sold out appearances at London Jazz Festival and Hull Festival in Autumn 2022.

Summer 2022 saw them make a name for themselves on the UK festival circuit, with appearances at Glastonbury, We Out Here, Greenman and Kendal Calling topped with a crowning headline set on the Chai Wallah stage at Shambala. April 2023 will see the band embark on their first UK-wide venue tour, supported with funding from Jazz Norths Northern Line programme, before they head into the studio to record new music in May.
