Cisco were a very popular Nottingham group who debuted in January 1974, held a residency at the Imperial for many years, and entertained far and wide with an upbeat brass driven funky rock. Although they did write a few of their own numbers they were known for covering the party rock tunes of the seventies. Read about their history here.
