About Me

The 1ibear boasts a collective of inspired rare groove musicians with their finger on the pulse of Britain's urban soul and funk movement. At the songwriting and performing heart of The 1 i bear lies guitarist Simon Bartholomew (Brand New Heavies,Jamaroquai), vocalist Aurora Dawn (Roots Manuva,Basement jaxx,Alabama 3) bass guitarist Nick Seymour (Akimbo) on drums Ian McKenzie(Dub Conspiracy). Urban soul rebels they have been described ... Vocalist Aurora Dawn has presence oozing out of her pores with her energetic displays and rapport with the crowd, mixing up the soul and adding just a little touch of ragga. Guitarist Simon Bartholomew,complete with disco frilled shirt and silk scarf with bass guitarist Nick Seymour and Mr Mckenzie,smashing it up on drums,are no less dynamic... with beats that are smooth as they come...produced by the infamous factor 60 watchout cos they come with the riddem attack!
