The much-loved Saturday Love All Dayer returns to Broomfield Park this July with legendary live music, top DJs and a celebration of jazz funk, soul and groove.
Music lovers are invited to step back into the golden era of jazz funk, soul and groove as the Saturday Love All Dayer returns to Broomfield Park in Palmers Green on Saturday 11 July. Now in its third year, the event promises an unforgettable afternoon and evening of live performances from Brit Funk legends, acclaimed musicians and some of the UK’s best jazz, funk and soul DJs, bringing together generations of music fans for a fantastic community celebration.
The Saturday Love all Dayer in Broomfield Park, Palmers Green on Saturday 11th July 2026 from 2pm – 10 pm is back for its 3rd year and will bring back the sounds, bands and Djs to get us back into the vibe of those Jazz Funk, Soul and Groove days. The live line-up is awesome and we are so privileged to have Brit Funk legends Shakatak; Jazz bassist putting an awesome band together for the event Ernie and the family Mckone and the incredible City Funk Orchestra. Also, this year we have a Q&A with performance from soul artist Gavin Holligan and for the first time a New and Emerging artist section with Sasha Bond and her band.
Get your “Tribe” together and come down.
With some of the best independent & knowledgeable jazz funk, dance & soul radio Djs such as Keith Robles (Crackers Radio), Paul Lewis (Solar Radio), Richard Marzetti (Solar Radio), Richie Tee (Diversity FM), all will be laying down tracks that'll spin you back to those funky and soulful club nights.
The times from 1978 -1985 (to late 80s) was quite a niche scene which was born out of the music of early American jazz funk pioneers. Legends such as Roy Ayres, Grover Washington, Bob James, Ronnie Laws, Ramsey Lewis, Wilbert Longmuire, The Blackbyrds leading to bands and artists such as Earth Wind & Fire, SOS Band, Funkadelic/Parliament, Fatback Band, Change, Rick James, George Benson, Bobby Womack, Luther Vandross, Maze etc. Plus, the whole Philly sound with MFSB, Dexter Wansel, McFadden and Whithead and more.
Of course, it also brought through our very own home-grown Brit Funk bands and music with Shakatak, Light of The World, Beggar & Co, High Tension, Freeez, Central Line, Atmosfear, Loose Ends, Linx, Imagination, Cool Runners etc.
We listened to Robbie Vincent and Greg Edwards on the radio and Chris Hill, Froggy, Sean French, Jeff Young, Snowboy and even Pete Tong in the clubs.
Aspiring DJs and Funk lovers then went out to the record shops spending hours trying to get the newest imports and tunes. How we loved doing that, who remembers?
Clubs like The Royalty in Southgate were the catalyst for us being able to engage in the music and carried the scene with those legendary DJs. This led to the All Dayers and Soul Weekenders (Caister) we loved so much and gave us another way of being able to get together with liked minded funksters.
Saturday Love Funk would also like to say a big thank you and pay tribute to the support of our all-important sponsors Winkworth Estate Agent and Philanthropy CIC. Both major local businesses who with their support have allowed us to bring some major artists to Palmers Green and help hold ticket prices down.
It’ll be a day to remember, so get your tickets now at
