They bring you an all singing all dancing horn section and backline that locks in together in a way only gained from over a decade of performing together.
Originating in a small pub in Ravenscourt Park, West London, by its founder: Phil Simmonds. W3 was to meant to be a small jam night for musicians who attended the Tech School nearby, however it very quickly became the most sought after night in London for professionals and non-professionals in the industry to come together and musically socialise/network and simply just have an all-out blow out with some of the top players in the country.
After a few years it began to outgrow the pub it started in, re-locating to join the Ronnie Scott’s family. For the last 6 years it has built a large following for their weekly funk showcase every Thursday night in Ronnie’s Bar, which has become the go-to night for live, energetic funk attracting not only musicians but people from all walks of life.
