Beat Routes by Pearls Cab Ride
Pearls Cab Ride, what sort of a name is that?????
After 25 years, no-one around these parts really asks that question anymore. These three words are more than a name. Pearls Cab Ride is a group of like-minded players, who carry the torch for everything, that is still good in LIVE music.
The band’s roots took hold in the Acid Jazz scene of the early 1990’s, (yes, such a musical movement did make it to the edges of the East Yorkshire coast!). When founder member Lyn Acton, and original guitarist Karl Arthur bonded over their love of all things soulful and funky, along came Peter Robinson, Simon Crook and Jason Fawcett, who remain faithful to the cause today, not to mention many other notable players who have passed through the ranks.
The band’s musical roots hold fast today, however they are not a retro outfit as cuts contained on this album such as ‘Sunrise’ testify. As some lucky people already know, the true magic of Pearls Cab Ride is served up by the trunk load in their sweat soaked live performances. Relative newcomers to the band John Shepherd, Kieren Iannidinardi and Patrick Henderson-Tucker complete the current line up and create a groove as deep as the Mariana Trench. These people are in the pocket, and very soon you will be too!
Enjoy BeatRoutes, it has been written, and is being performed for people like you in mind! I personally think it’s fantastic, but I would say that wouldn’t I! Bring on album No.2

Pearls Cab Ride are a Funk & Soul behemoth from Hull, with a Latin twist and a social message.
Eased along by some of the city’s hottest players, topped off by the formidable vocals of Hull’s ‘pocket rocket’ Lyn (Pearl) Acton.
It's the hippest trip you'll ever take.
