A live session filmed at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2024, in the wake of British collective Jungle’s Volcano tour. Led by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, Jungle has become one of the standard-bearers of the funk and modern-soul revival in the UK, with a sound that marries danceable grooves, soul pads, falsettos and polished production. On stage the duo surrounds itself with a full band and backing vocalist-dancers who give their shows a recognisable, choreographed dimension. The BBC Live Lounge format, filmed in studio, highlights the collective’s rhythmic precision and vocal harmonies. This recording offers a fine glimpse of Jungle’s stage energy at the peak of their popularity. A filmed live concert to discover for fans of funk, nu-disco and contemporary British soul. An ideal live set for extending the danceable mood of the band’s albums, and a concise showcase of a group that has turned studio grooves into one of the most recognisable live shows in modern British music.
