      In the early 1970s The Funkees were the number-one east Nigerian band and the only outfit to seriously challenge the popular Lagos based rock combos MonoMono and BLO. Stoking the dancefloor was the young band's first priority and The Funkees were often playing through the night, seven days a week. This collection features for the first time all of their Nigerian 45s alongside the best of their UK album material and is accompanied by a full interview with original member Sonny Akpan.

      This collection features for the first time all of their Nigerian 45s alongside the best of their UK album material and is accompanied by a full interview with original member Sonny Akpan, who still lives in the capital. - See more at: http://www.soundwayrecords.com/release/the-funkees/the-funkees---dancing-time-the-best-of-eastern-nigerias-afro-rock-exponents-1973---77--sndw039#sthash.gZMmPhyZ.dpuf
