Uncle Frank plus support  Tomás Doncker and Matt Barrett-Jones A chance to see an intimate warmup show before the Legendary Uncle Frank duo head out in December on an Arena tour supporting level 42. Uncle Frank is a UK rock, pop, and soul band founded by Leicester multi-instrumentalists Frank Benbini and Naim Cortazzi. Building on a prolific catalog of five studio albums -from their 2014 debut Step Into My Room to 2025's Soundtrack to a Musical-the group continues to make major strides, including supporting reggae legends The Wailers across Europe in 2026 with custom Dub Reggae arrangements. For this show, audiences are in for an intimate night featuring founding duo Frank and Naim. Their story is also captured in To Be Frank, a feature-length documentary detailing Benbini's 15-year journey in music, set to hit streaming platforms following a successful UK cinema release.   Tomás Doncker  Tomás Doncker is a genre-defying producer, singer-songwriter, guitarist, and the Founder & CEO of True Groove Records. A staple of the New York arts scene since his early days with No Wave and Punk Funk pioneers The Contortions and Defunkt, he has collaborated with icons ranging from Bootsy Collins and Madonna to Patti Smith and Bill Laswell. Leading his band, Tomás Doncker and The True Groove All-Stars, he pioneered the "Global Soul" and 21st-century Psychedelic Soul sound-most notably through Endangered, a critically acclaimed multimedia project with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa and artist Floyd Tunson. Praised by Rolling Stone, Mojo, and The Telegraph, Doncker remains an influential, uncompromising force in modern music. Matt Barrett-Jones
