R&B night inspired by Verzuz in which local Milton Keynes singers, backed by the SLQY Band, play live versions of hits from the 2000s and 2010s.
SLQY Sessions are back at Midsummer Tap on Friday 27 November, this time with a night they're calling Y2K vs. New Wave (Versus Edition). It's a bit of a departure from a standard gig: they've taken the Verzuz format and turned it into an era-versus-era showdown, pitting the R&B of the 2000s against the 2010s. The night is organised by SLQY and runs for around four hours, with doors opening at 7:00 PM.
The whole thing is built around three rounds. In each one, the biggest hits from the two eras go head-to-head, and the audience votes after every matchup to decide which song advances. Every track is reimagined and performed live by local Milton Keynes singers, backed by the full SLQY Band, so you're hearing these songs played from the ground up rather than as straight covers. The singers on the bill are Aaron John, Tiffany Bisa, Tanya Travers, and Jobe.
It's a long one, and the jam session is part of the night too. Between the rounds, the band keeps going, and the whole thing stretches across the evening. If you've got a strong preference for one era over the other, this is where you get to air it — you're not just listening, you're deciding which songs make the cut.
