Funk & Soul Christmas Party

Given the time of year, not only are we going to stuff the show with funky Christmas fare, but also a whole bunch of gospel goodness. In Talcum Time, we’ll indulge ourselves with Northern floor-fillers, from Al Wilson, Frank Wilson and Joubert Singers. And you can’t have a Funk and Soul Christmas party, without Back Door Santa making an appearance by Clarence Carter.
