If you want chilled jazz, soul, smooth, easy listening or upbeat funky soul (especially 1970's) and hints of reggae, then look no further. I have it covered. Recordings include an album of 16 songs written by Vernon Fuller available on CD and across various digital platforms including: Spotify, Deezer, emusic, iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Google Play. Songs styles are Soul, Jazz, Latin, Reggae and Funk. Titled "What Will You Do?", the songs have male and female vocals, trumpet, bass, drums, percussion, guitars and on one song a brass horn section.
Review: “With this album Vernon displays his guitar prowess and versatility through many musical styles. Being fresh and uplifting as always Vernon and his band are talented, vibrant performers with masses of drive and feel, something that I feel is vitally important in songwriting and the production of music. The title track ‘What Will You Do’? stands out with its flowing Latin inspired beats, and hugely danceable rhythm. The Benson feel of ‘For You’ effortlessly blends into the lush reggae of ‘See that Girl’. ‘Last Kiss’ is evocative of Leon Russell’s songwriting at its finest, and ‘Love Isn’t Love’ instantly draws you into a New York club atmosphere; the whole sound of this particular track is warm, immediate, and expansive with a whole-band feel. The whole album, in fact, has a wonderfully tactile quality that is timeless and engaging." - Paula McCool - Owner Ghostnote Record Label.
"Listening to the excellent What Will You Do CD by Vernon Fuller very nice Samba and Funk mix for the World Cup Brazil vibe" "Thank you Vernon for making such a fine work of art"

At least two power sockets. Parking space if possible.
No.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment. I'd also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
I can play some background music in between sets but I'm not a DJ.
I played support to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at Summer Classics concert in Southport.
Stevie Wonder is a massive influence.
I have gigged in various venues in London including Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and I have played many gigs in the North West of England. I have also been a featured artist on Jazz FM radio.
