This is a sixties Soul Band called 'The All Night Workers'.
The Masters of Memphis Soul!

They are a nine piece soul band (three brass) formed in 1966 who played many London clubs and venues around the country, supporting acts like Jimi Hendrix, Geno Washington, Edwin Starr etc.

These days they can be found playing at some of the more popular London music venues such as The Southern Belle (formerly The Greyhound) Fulham, The Half Moon Putney, The Bull's Head Barnes, The Cavern Raynes Park and The Crawdaddy festival Richmond. They frequently work on the South Coast around the Bournemouth area.
