[CloseButNoDoughNut]

[GazzTheFunkadelic]

This is brilliant!! Loove the arrangement of "Are You Being Served". Outrageously funked up!!! Does anyone know if Matt Berry's band have recorded anything or are the primarily a live act?

[cavegirl79]

Hiya - I think if you check on Amazon Matt Berry has recorded more than one album of music, not sure whether these tracks are on them though - but he's a fantastic musician.

[GazzTheFunkadelic]

Hi , thank you for your comment. I'll have a good look to see if I can find them. I'm a huge fan of Matt Berry , I hope I can track them down. Thanks again sweetheart.

[cavegirl79]

You're welcome, pet - on Amazon there's one called Opium at the moment, and I believe he's got one in production called Witchazel - not sure when it's out though. Glad I could help!

[monicarwells2]

I'm realli feeling the theme to are you being served!!! oh em gee!

[tunny2000]

I can't believe he played Staff's Uni and I didn't know until today.

:(

[absynthepoe]

This is a double dip cream dream. I would murder to see this live!!!

[rojomo]

matt,

as much as I love your work...

by not raping Bagpuss,

you have effectively raped Bagpuss.

[rebdj]

Tremendous, Matt is a genius.

[ewaf88]

Very good - now Ronnie wrote this in 1972 and Pinks Floyd's 'Money' appeared in 1973. Interesting.

[willibehistory]

SORRY to correct you, but Ronnie Hazlehurst was not the composer of this theme tune. Myself, Gaynor Colbourn, and Hugh Wisdom, were commissioned by the BBC in 1981 to compose the music for the opening and closing credits of SORRY. I hope that this helps to clarify the case. By the way, Matt Berry has done some interesting arrangements here. Gaynor

[ewaf88]

Hi maybe we got our wires crossed I was referring to 'Are you being served' not 'Sorry' the Ronnie Corbet comedy

[willibehistory]

Aaaah, now that he DID compose. By the way, Ronnie Hazlehurst was a lovely, and very talented man, and sadly missed.

[ewaf88]

Yes he was - I wish I could have met him. So much I could have learnt. I enjoy putting images to music - although- I guess - he did it the other way round

[UncleBoogieRF]

Seriously, Matt needs to put out MP3's of this RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

[edocronian]

Seconded.

I'd both pay money for AND dance like a nutter to, this.

[UncleBoogieRF]

I went hunting yesterday to see if maybe he had, or someone had done a soundboard recording from one of his shows. Sadly it turned up nothing.

I realise there are copyright issues but seriously, I've been in love with his rendition of the "Sorry" theme since I heard it on Charlie Brooker's show last year.

[tellyisrubbish]

haha! brilliant.

[denton1983]

I can see the back of my head in this video. It was a great night.

[eyeassault]

Matt Berry, the only man I would go gay for. So what's the 2nd part of the song from? I know the first is from the sitcom sorry! I believe.

[Goldsack]

Second one is are you being served

[Valclav]

Matt you da' man!

[theflyingglove]

the first song reminds me of the monkey island theme tune

[robotmassacre]

I've known this tune since I was a little boy in the 80s: I had no idea there was a funk gem hidden inside it. A top turn!

[purejock]

drummer amazing, and the bassists technique is incomparable, its only a matter of time before some twat makes a dance version of these tunes and ruins them for all of us.

[bryannouveau2]

Ladytron has down an electro cover of the Are You Being Served Theme, but that was like five years ago.

[shinra18]

<3 the drummer.

[hippytori]

I saw them in Bristol, was amazing! Brilliant guitarist and it was so funny :)

[NameNotaNumber]

Now THAT'S what I call entertainment! 5 stars!

[Tikilizzy]

God I'm stupid, its George(bass)and Charlie (drums)that are brothers.

[Tikilizzy]

Saw this in Dublin. It warmed the cockles of my heart. Thanks for posting. Is it true the drummer is his brother? No family resemblance I must say!

[macromagic]

awesome drummer.....!!!

[francea]

Andy I LOVE YOU WITH A WIG!!!!!

[elpnor]

That was quick! <3 Ronnie, <3 Matt - probably more. :D
