Rizzle Kicks

Local lads Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule were almost as excited to perform in their home town as their fans were to welcome them.

Where else could they tease mates, spot their cousins amid the screaming audience, invite their drummer to shout out to Durrington-on-Sea and stand atop a speaker, flapping their arms and chanting “Seagulls”?

Backed by a funky band complete with trumpeter, their exuberantly happy hip-hop show involved grand entrances to Inspector Gadget and the Harry Potter theme, bouncy covers of Ed Sheeran and the James Bond theme, and explosively joyful dancing to their triumphant hits ‘When I Was A Youngster’, ‘Mama Do The Hump’ and ‘Down With The Trumpets’.
