The Funkees were an afro-rock group formed in Nigeria in 1969. It wasn't long before promoters in the UK came calling and they packed up their instruments and moved to London where they quickly established a fierce reputation on the live circuit and quickly gained prominence in the expatriate West African and West Indian music scene. They specialised in funky, upbeat, highly danceable afro-rock. Chyke, born in 1949 in Lagos, joins PJ to tell us the story of The Funkees.
