Brainchild of siblings Dave & Kirsty, the BMF have spent the past few years perfecting their material & line-up. The twelve strong collective fuse elements of jazz, soul, RnB, funk & pop to produce a sound revealing a rare blend of influences ranging from Jamiroquai, Supertramp & the Brand New Heavies to name just a few.

Intricate melodies & catchy riffs coupled with thought provoking lyrics set this group apart. Their latest studio album "Decimal Places of Genius" (Uylsses Records) showcases their musical, lyrical & production talents and includes a new mix of their 2003 single "It's Alright" (Definite Grooves).

Powerful enough to pack an almighty punch live at a club yet with the flexibility to strip back to basics for a soulful ballad, the BMF continue to go from strength to strength & plan to be out on the road with their new line-up later this year.
