![]() They have been true heroes on my journey to justice, and I will forever be in awe of how talented they are. It’s no secret that Payne Hicks Beach are one of the most sought after and respected legal teams in the U.K., so it was a real honor to have them support me, especially as I didn’t have the finances necessary to afford a legal team at the time. Harrison said in a statement: “I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who has helped support my civil claim, which after almost three years has finally been settled. Hanna Basha and Nick Grant of legal firm Payne Hicks Beach’s privacy and media team represented Harrison. It was consensual sex but it certainly wasn’t consensual filming and it was deeply violating.” Pornography is generally actually something done consensually. A more appropriate term is image based abuse. “This is a gross act of violation by a man towards a woman through the medium of the internet. “This is a case where the term ‘revenge porn’ is sometimes used, it’s a colorful term for the media,” Judge Victoria McCloud said. This is one of the highest amounts to be awarded in an image abuse case and one of the highest awards of all time in a privacy claim arising out of a single act. The damages, including special damages, and an injunction, were awarded in a ruling at the High Court in London on Wednesday. Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band plays July 3rd at The Hamilton, 600 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005. We’re Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, so we like to get that booty shakin’.” And everybody’s ready to come out, let go of their day, have a few drinks, and let loose on the dance floor. Something that’s really strong at our show is keeping people connected and part of the show. As entertainers we’ve really come a long way over the last years. “I feel we really understand after doing this for so long, how to connect with the crowd and keep ’em dancing all night. But when it comes down to it, playing live is this quintet’s bread and butter, because after doing it for a while, they know just how to get people shakin’ their, well, you know. The band’s fourth release and by all accounts, their funkiest and most solid offering yet, was recorded in their hometown of Asheville, and combines the expected with the unexpected, a true party fest full of funk grooves, dance riffs and bigtime contagious rhythms. Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band’s most recent record is what they seem to be living every day: Funk Life. It’s really allowed me to free up and write way more. I’ve really benefited from teaching children how to write. “It’s fun to come off this road life and bars and playing shows to really hanging out with young kids and really seeing how they see music, and how they learn and write. ![]() “They teach me as much as I teach them,” Frances said.

We really gel on stage, and off stage, and I think the music on our latest album really shows that it’s the tightest the band’s been ever.” “Seems like fate just brought everything together, and this lineup’s been the same for the last six years. ![]() ![]() “It’s just all these little things that happen along the way,” said Frances. But along with Frances, their current buncha funkmasters – featuring Al Al Ingram, JP Miller, Derrick Johnson and Lee Allen – is the best the band has ever had to offer. I think that’s really sustained it.”įormed in 2002 in North Carolina, this hybrid concoction of 70’s soul, 80’s dance funk rooted in the blues and soaked in their own very cool “thang” has seen a few different lineups over the years. People know that they’re gonna come out and have the time of their life. That unknown, what’s gonna happen at this Booty Band show, that’s what we love. As far as the show goes, or how the crowd interacts with us, it can get wild. And each night is different, each night for us is different on stage. ![]() People who come out and see the Booty Band are gonna have an experience. “I think our music promotes just being you, no boundaries, no boxes, you just come out and be yourself. “We keep people dancin’ and having fun,” said vocalist/keyboardist Mary Frances, who also goes by the aptly-bestowed name Mama Funk. ![]()
