A highly entertaining band with a good following around Leeds and York, their style is a heavy soul / jazz fusion, with the emphasis on keeping things funky and uplifting. The music is 60's & 70's based with modern undertones, the main sound from Hammond organ, bass, guitar and drums, with astonishing vocals from Amber.
Recent gigs have included the New Year / Millennium Square Celebrations in Leeds City Centre, the re-opening of The Cornerhouse in Middlesbrough and the recent BBC Live weekend in York.
Here Magazine "..quite honestly, The T&B Specialists are one of the, if not THE, tightest and funkiest bands in York. Their music slouches in the direction of 70's cop-film soundtracks, sleazy lizard lounge cocktail tunes and downright dirty funk. Lead singer Amber, with a voice as smooth and greasy as a chicken leg, imbues every song with a sexiness and urgency which elevates the set to a standard rarely seen in York. As well as confirming her status as simply one of the best singers on the scene at the moment. With a packed venue and queues outside, the T&B star is clearly ascending....you MUST go and see them..."
